In the Browse section, World Factbook Visual Edition displays a 2D map of the world with the names of each continent and ocean listed below. Users may tap on specific names or the map itself to view a fact page with more data and details on their selection. Each selection contains additional information including an introduction, its location, dozens of comparison graphs, and flag, as applicable.

"I have been a researcher of algorithm visualization at the University of Tampere where I designed educational applications that made complex algorithms more accessible to computer science students," says Esa Helttula, founder of iDevBooks. "These applications showed me how important it is to visualize data. The original CIA Factbook has all of the data in a text format. This app is my way to make this unique resource more accessible to adults and kids."
