Globepedia - 3D World Globe Spin the globe or unfold a flat map, and connect geography facts with their locations. Explore the world and test your memory with World Geography and Korea location quizzes. EXPLORE 228 COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES Rotate and zoom the interactive 3D globe. Open a country's details for its flag, capital, region, ISO code, coordinates, currency, introduction, and major attractions with photos. Each attraction has a description, and every photo shows its author and license. Alongside UN member states, explore territories and regions including Hong Kong, Macao, Greenland, and Puerto Rico. GLOBE AND FLAT MAP Open More options (the lower-right layers icon) to switch between the globe and flat map. Pan and pinch to explore the map. Your viewing mode is saved for next time. Location quizzes and flight routes work in both views. COUNTRY DETAILS AT A GLANCE The flag, name and capital remain visible when the country sheet is collapsed. Drag the handle or tap the country name to expand or collapse it. See subregions such as Eastern Asia and Western Africa alongside the broader region. Open attraction photos and flight routes from the summary. LOCAL TIME AND TIME DIFFERENCES Check a country's local time and the difference from your time. Times use the capital's time zone with daylight saving changes. Countries with multiple time zones are labeled as capital time. Your time follows your device's time zone setting. No location permission is needed. FLIGHT ROUTES ON THE MAP Open Show flight route in a country's details. Change departure and arrival airports to see the shortest path between them, distance, and estimated travel time. The default departure airport uses your device's region setting and can be changed in Settings. Location permission is not needed. Routes and times are educational estimates. Globepedia does not provide live flight operations, schedules, or ticket bookings.

STEP-BY-STEP HINTS Reveal clues one at a time when you get stuck. The final hint in location quizzes marks an area containing the answer on the map. The first hint on each question needs no ad. Choose to watch a rewarded ad for additional hints. SEARCH AND FAVORITES Search by country, capital, or region in English or Korean. Save countries to your favorites. FIVE MAP THEMES AND MAP CONTROLS Choose your theme. Open More options (the layers icon) and enable Day & night to see where it is night now. Use the lower-right controls to toggle dots/labels or return to the country in your device's region setting. Home falls back to Seoul if the region cannot be resolved. Start immediately without an account or login. No in-app purchases or subscriptions. No interstitials while browsing countries. Interstitials may appear at quiz completion; optional rewarded ads offer extra hints. Core globe/quiz data, country and attraction descriptions, and local-time calculations work offline.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Globepedia at none against Leafy's 1. Leafy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
