I would love a program where I can browse the world and see countries, cities, oceans, all fully labeled (preferably in English which I speak, but a dual English+local native script would also be good). It would be all the nicer if there were stats and facts and some representative photos and stuff to learn a little about different places, without needing to dive into a full Wikipedia article.

Basically, what I’m hoping for is like a modern MS Encarta Atlas, but offline and good.

As for web options, Google Maps, unfortunately, works really well. But I despise Google. OpenStreetMaps doesn’t have all that extra data, it is just a map. What are the options available, if any?

    Blue marble is essentially an open source Google Earth desktop application. Idk if it’s exactly what you want but it’s not terrible.

    OsmAnd is the same thing for Android and iOS and it’s absolutely wonderful.
