Just like the Spherical Atlas, the Geographic Projection varies in apperance by [[region]]. In the North American and Japanese versions, the "front" of the globe is South America. In the European version, it shows Oceania, as the version of ''Pikmin 2'' distributed in Oceania is the European one. In {{p2s}}, since it uses the North American version internationally, the Geographic Projection always appears South America front.
Just like the Spherical Atlas, this treasure's model was also changed in each [[region]] of the game such that the "front" of the model is a specific part of the globe. Unlike the Spherical Atlas however, these locations don't quite match the region of the game's copy. In the North American version, the "front" of the globe is South America, which makes sense. But in the Japanese version, it is also South America. Since there is no area related to Japan in the southern hemisphere, South America is as good a place as any other. In the European version, it shows Oceania, perhaps to highlight the fact that Australian players use the European version.

Notably, the texture for the Geographic Projection is mirrored vertically, rather than rotated 180 degrees. This means that the landmasses appear backwards, and it's not possible to align the two treasures into a complete globe, as the texture for the Spherical Atlas is not mirrored.

The Geographic Projection's [[Treasure Hoard]] icon is the same across all versions of ''Pikmin 2'', and depicts South America, like the Japanese and American reigonal versions. The texture used to produce the Geographic Projection's highlight is called <code>hilight_I4_bombsarai</code>, and is shared with the Spherical Atlas and [[Careening Dirigibug]].  
Like the Spherical Atlas, the highlight texture is called <code>hilight_I4_bombsarai</code>, and is the same as the [[Careening Dirigibug]]'s highlight texture. Also like the Spherical Atlas, this part of the globe is missing its pole, in this case, the South Pole. The [[Treasure Hoard]] icon for the Geographic Projection is also too low-resolution, making it hard to tell which region is being shown in it.
