Earth Explorer is a digital map software solution that shows high-resolution satellite imagery along with very useful details regarding every single chosen location.

The interface is user friendly and pretty intuitive, with the most popular locations, be they countries, cities or islands, listed in a separate panel in the right side of the main window.

The program provides three different imagery modes, satellite, blend and DEM, and multiple viewing options, such as political boundaries, coastlines, rivers and lat/lon grids. Plus, you can mark countries, cities, islands and earthquakes on every map.

With a database of 270 countries, over 40,000 cities and 15,000 islands, Earth Explorer lets users to add their very own placemarks, paths and GPS tracks, while also benefiting from handy tools such as distance calculator, day/night shadow effect and gamma adjuster.

While it doesn't provide the same impressive resolution as Google Earth for example, Earth Explorer displays a bunch of useful details when navigating to a defined location, such as capital, population, GDP and area.

The options menu is just minimal and provides you a limited number of settings to configure distance unit, FOV, lat/lon format, grid step, bearing, max resolution and max items.

Of course, Earth Explorer needs just a reasonable amount of resources to work properly and works okay no matter the Windows version.

Overall, Earth Explorer is far from being the best app in this particular software category, but it's still a good choice if you wish to get information on specific locations with just a few clicks.
