Thanks, everybody. I'll be getting a map and an atlas. When I was a "little kid" I guess I had no interest in geology because I don't know anything about it.

Yes!
Look into Arc GIS from ESRI if you want to get really wild. You have to do a free trial, but it's worth it. Super powerful, super awesome. If you like looking at demographic/population/geologic data then nothing matches it imo. It's fairly intuitive, but I'd suggest looking up a few tutorials.
You can also get an open source and much, much more light weight version of that over at https://www.openstreetmap.org

My grandpa was a petroleum geologist and has a ton of geological maps from all over and all different era of geologic time. He even has these raised 3d topographic maps

The ArcGIS thing is interesting, but how would I use it just to learn geography?
The openstreetmap thing is good. Thanks!

Is there one that's like live satelite/street level cameras? That would be fun
-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Geology and Geography are not the same thing. Sorry if you already know that and If I misread something.

Other than the above suggestion...RAND MCNALLY ROAD ATLAS!!! Every truck stop/rest stop in America has these for like, $10 last I checked.

Yeah, I have a Rand McNally truckers GPS, it's a professional tool, very accurate (although it gives me longer than I want routes sometimes). Rand McNally is trustworthy better than any Garmin

Asssuming you mean geology(which I know absolutely nothing about btw, but I work with lots of data and am familiar with the program itself), you can use it to map and visualize geological features, create complex data models, etc., etc. It also provides you access to a huuuge amount of geological(and other types) datasets that are all standardized and can be pulled down to your maps super easily.
https://www.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=3fcef4af7fb0453d91017a6fefafcfe6
Here's an example.
If it's something that interests you I'd look into GIS tutorials and online classes pertaining specifically to geology.
