Since the subject of National Geographic was raised, I wanted to mention
that National Geographic maps are now being distributed commercially by
GeoSystems.  In addition, we are publishing new products in conjunction
with them, the first being the National Geographic Road Atlas.  Information
and catalogs are available from:
 
GeoSystems
11a Mount Auburn Street
Cambridge, MA 02138
800-626-4655
 
The maps are available from distributors such as Map Link and Omni Resources.
 
For your info, National Geographic Maps, formerly the NGS Cartographic
Division, is now part of National Geographic Ventures, a for profit
subsidiary of the Society, which also includes NG Television (TV shows and
video) and NG Interactive (CD-ROMs and web site). In addition to its new
publishing alliance with GeoSystems, this year NG Maps acquired Trails
Illustrated, a publisher of topographic maps focusing on National Parks.
 
GeoSystems (http://www.geosys.com) is a provider of cartographic services
and products to a variety of publishers, and operates the internet site
MapQuest.  Our publishing operation includes the National Geographic
titles, and wall maps and map-related products of Interarts, a company we
acquired last year.
