Mars Globe HD
Take a tour of the mysterious Red Planet. This virtual globe combines a high-resolution satellite map with laser altimeter data and advanced topographic lighting to present the planet Mars as it appears from above. An Introduction and Guided Tour present some of Mars' most intriguing features. You can leave the guided tour and explore Mars as you like; over 1500 surface features have been annotated with information and links. Mars Globe HD is a must-have app for anyone interested in our solar system.
"My science classes were never like this... a terrific demo of the power of the iPad to inform and entertain." - Mel Martin, TUAW.com
*** PLEASE NOTE ***: Regular Mars Globe is a smaller download and is free. This HD version has slightly, not extremely, better resolution and rendering; it is intended for people who have already tried the free version and liked it.
As Mars Globe HD requires advanced OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics, it does not work on older devices like the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, or 1st or 2nd generation iPod Touches. Regular Mars Globe works on those devices.
What's new
- Improved graphics performance.
- Added a switch in the Options menu to turn atmospheric haze rendering on or off. Turn this off for better performance in some situations.
