Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
Some may read it for the articles, but some of us are self-assured enough to admit that we like to look at the... maps. Now you can scope out 109 years of cartographical excellence with National Geographic Maps, a set of eight CD-ROMs that will keep you glued to your PC for hours on end, poring over transatlantic cable diagrams, finding the old name for Rwanda, or even learning a thing or two about the history of mapmaking.

Installation is easy, and the interface is as attractive and intuitive as you would expect from the institution devoted to educating the public about the world. Fire it up and search for a particular map or a place on a map, then choose which of many from 1896 to 1995 meet your needs. Browsing the maps is fun, too--zooming and sweeping over vast distances can be almost dizzying.

Whether or not you're a researcher, you'll love the bookmark and log-in features, which remember your past searches and help you find facts fast. When you want to kick back for a while, take one of the thematic tours or guided lessons on mapmaking that are every bit as powerful and well-made as National Geographic's television specials. It's hard to beat National Geographic Maps for sheer eye-straining fun; better still, it makes you smarter! --Rob Lightner

Amazon.com Product Description:
National Geographic Maps 2.0 takes every map from the pages of National Geographic Magazine from the last 109 years and brings them together in CD-ROM form. These maps span the complete geography and history of the world, integrating the two through interactive time lines. Pictures, sound, and video clips accompany many of the maps.

Program features allow you to zoom and pan on maps for a macro- or microview. You can easily locate an exact point on the map with the map navigator--much faster than trying to use an atlas. Search for maps by key word, geographic location, or theme. Another bonus: you can copy, paste, and print maps directly into your reports and presentations.

- Just like the good 'ol days
For those of you who have fond memories of poring over Nat'l Geographic maps when you were younger and the world was a much bigger place and very exotic place, getting these CD's was like a trip down memory lane for me. I used to spend hours as a kid going over the maps in each issue when I was around 12 years old (and older), and I probably learned a lot about the world in the process.

So when I saw this collection I purchased it. I haven't had a subscription to N.G. in 30 years, so ... Read More

- A wonderful Geographic resource
This collection, spanning the entire National Geographic Society's history, is a wonderfuly tool. Each and every map ever printed by the Society is here in perfect digital clarity. Though an excellent companion to their Complete National Geographic software, this product is great stand alone as well.

National Geographic maps have long been invaluable resources to virtually everyone (Byrd carried one over the North Pole in '26, extensively utilized by the allies in WWII, etc.) and this ... Read More

- A disappointment
NGMaps 2.0 is disappointing software. Yes every National Geographic Map is included but generally what you get is a collection of high quality scans. If you want maps that are searchable - because you want to find something! then this isn't for you. The database is lacking both consistancy and raw data. As an Australian I was amazed that some of our capital cities could not even be found.

- Geography at its best: you don't even have to refold the map
Say the word 'map' and most people's eyes glaze over instantaneously. When over 50% of entering freshmen at American universities claimed in 1990 that Mexico was *north* of the United States, educators across the country got extremely worried. National Geographic started lending a hand to secondary educators in an effort to promote basic geographic understanding.

Of course, they'd already been doing something like that for years with their bi-monthly series of map inserts. National ... Read More
