National Geographic
National Geographic is regarded as one of the world's foremost authorities on geography. For almost a century, the society has been making political, physical and thematic maps with great cartographic merit. The society uses modern digital mapping techniques to enhance the geography of these high quality cartographic charts. Since 1998, National Geographic has officially switched over to the Winkel Tripel Map Projection to try to mitigate the spatial distortion inherent to maps. The National Geographic organization aims to craft products that "inspire people to care about and explore the world" through extensive research of the planet's relief and upholding a rigorous standard of cartographic excellence. The society's passion for accuracy in portraying the world has helped maintain their first-rate status as one of the best resources for geographic concerns.
