Geotap

iOS iPhone

*** NOW JUST $0.99 ***

Are you anything like Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese-born explorer who led the very first expedition that sailed around the world? Do you have a strait named after you like he does? Don’t know where the Strait of Magellan is?.. play GeoTap and you will find out. If you already are a geography superhero, then your head may be in the shape of a giant globe just as Magellan's was. But chances are your melon is merely normal looking and void of geographic superpowers. That's boring. But do not despair. Play GeoTap and you can become a modern day Magellan!
