| 01:36 | Globe View is the default view. |
| 01:39 | It shows a 3D model of the Earth. |

| 04:16 | The symbols used to represent a feature in all maps are universal. |
| 04:21 | For example, rivers are always represented by blue lines. |
| 04:26 | If we see black and red triangles in a location, it means that the place has mountains and volcanoes. |
| 04:36 | In addition to these default panels, Marble has 3 more panels. |
