Hi HelenJane;

These atlases are described on our recent New Arrivals listing -
http://www.omnimap.com/catalog/new/00-dec.htm - and I've put up about 8-10
sample screens for each product.  I've played with one of the products (the
Moscow) and found it informative (especially the address function), but
you'd be much better waiting for a librarian's opinion.

Cheers,
Russell Guy
