About Geo USA
About Geography USA

Geography USA was first written in Dutch in 1993 and part of a collection of geography programs of  Van Dorp Educatieve Programmatuur.

In 1995 Eric J. van Dorp, owner of VDEP, translated the program to English. In this version the program was still named Topography USA.  With the help of the first users some language and data  errors were corrected. Also the name was changed to  Geography USA which is probably a more appropriate name for the program. Geography USA  is distributed worldwide as shareware. Don't forget to register when you decide to continue using the program.

In 1995 more VDEP programs will be translated to an English version. Among these programs will be World Distance (to calculate distances around the globe), Geography Africa (equal to Geography USA) and World Climate (a visual climate database).

Software distributers with interest in one or more of these programs are encouraged to contact the author.

Study mode
How to use the study mode ?

When starting the program you automaticaly come in the study mode. In this mode you can learn all names, capitals and locations of all states by clicking either on the name of the state in the listbox or on the state itself at the map.

At the status line, belowr the map, the capital of the state is named.

To study the 50 cities click on the 'cities'-button to get the names of the cities listed, or click on the small yellow circel indicating the location of the city.

You can study this way as long as you like. When you want to test your knowledge simply click at the 'test'-button.

- name capital by state

The last two options wil show you a special testform.

Whether  you are tested for states or cities depends if the listbox is currently filled with names of cities or states. To change between these two click the 'states/cities'-button.

You can end a test half way by clicking at the 'stop'-button or End.

At the end of a test you are shown your final score and asked for your name.  These will be stored on disk and can be shown by clicking on 'testresults'.
