I think you mean “and compromise projections are displayed with two sample images” here?

Yeah, but I can't find the crazy 1964105631895×1896598160246 databases in Geocart 3 at all.
Geocart has three product choices: Student, Personal, and Professional. The larger databases come with Personal and Professional editions. The Student edition does not. The demos do not.
Those are the databases that ship with the minimal installer and demo version. The Personal and Professional editions come with additional installers as listed here: Supplied data sets
