Overview
National Geographic's World Executive Political Enlarged Map attractively exhibits the planet in earth-toned shades. The political boundaries of the continents are outlined in bold colors and complemented by detailed shading over the ocean that depicts underwater fractures, ridges and seamounts that lie beneath. The North and South Poles are shown in separate insets in the corners of the map, along with others that display population densities and land/vegetation use. The World Executive Political Enlarged Map is a necessary addition to the home, school or business.
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.
