KGeography, is an interesting geography learning application for the
KDE desktop environment, although it works hassle free in GNOME as well. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2 and has a pretty informative website on upcoming developments and how you can contribute to the project by submitting maps.
There are several maps to choose from – countries, continents and the world.
KGeography comes with six different ways of learning Geography.
1. Browse Map – With this option, a click on the map identifies the country, or state (province) with its capital. In case, the feature clicked is a country, you are presented with its flag too.
2. Click Division on Map – Select the number of questions you would like to attempt, and identify the country or state that is asked for by clicking on the map. The results are displayed once you are done with answering all the questions.
3. Guess Division From Its Capital – Select the number of questions just like the one above, and this time you’ve got to select country / state of the four options provided, for capitals. The map interface does not show up for this section.
4. Guess Capital of Division – Similar to guessing divisions from capitals, but the other way round. Select the right capital from the options provided for the country being questioned upon.
5. Guess Division From Its Flag – A flag is presented, with four options. Select the country that the flag belongs to. This option is disabled when the map is that of a country as individual states (provinces do not have flags in most of the countries.
6. Guess Flag of Division – Identify the right flag out of four option with pictures of flags, for the country / state in question.
Installation: Fire up the terminal and issue the command
