#K Geography is an virtual atlas, it has many digital maps of different political regions in the Earth, such as continents, countries, states.
#Another feature of KGeography is the possibility of zoom on a map. You can click the Zoom button and then draw a rectangle to zoom in a part of the map. While in zoom mode, you can press right mouse button to go back to the original map size (the Original Size action has the same effect). Use the scroll bars, the arrow keys or the mouse wheel to move around the zoomed map or use the Move action that will allow you to drag the map using left mouse button. The Automatic Zoom feature will make the map as big as possible.
