Lean to the left and the bird turns left. Look down and it swoops low over the rooftops, then tip your head back and it climbs again. Explorer Glide lets children explore the real world from above, steering a bird with nothing but their head, over real satellite maps of anywhere on Earth. FLY ANYWHERE Start at Uluru, the Great Barrier Reef, the Grand Canyon, the Pyramids, Mount Fuji or the Amazon. Or type in your own street, your school, or a park you know. If it is on the map, you can fly over it. STEER WITH YOUR HEAD The front camera watches how you tilt. Lean to turn. Look down to swoop, and tip your head back to climb. There is nothing to hold and nothing to press. Arrow keys work as well, for anyone who would rather sit still. BRING BACK A MAP Turn on the path and your flight draws itself across the map while you fly. At the end you can save a picture of the whole journey, showing your route, where you started and how far you went. It prints well and looks good on a classroom wall. LEARNING ABOUT MAPS Distances are given in things a child can picture, like blue whales end to end or laps of a running track. Height is described rather than measured, from skimming the rooftops to up with the clouds. The compass reads in words instead of degrees. You can switch between satellite photos, photos with names on them, and a plain drawn map, which is a simple way to see how a map relates to the ground it describes. NOTHING TO WIN OR LOSE There is no score, no timer and no way to fail. Children fly for as long as they want and stop when they are ready. ON EVERY SCREEN Explorer Glide runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac. It works best on a bigger screen that can sit still on a desk, where there is more room to see where you are going.
