Poster 22040 Milky Way - Melkweg | 79 x 51 cm | National Geographic

The colorful World Explorer map is designed using the Winkel Tripel projection, which reduces the distortion of land masses near the poles. Inset charts list largest cities by population and the largest countries by land mass and population. 

The World Explorer Executive uses the Winkel-Tripel Map Projection, which strikes the best balance of accuracy, aesthetics, and proportion, eliminating the issue found in many other maps where Greenland appears larger than South America.   Map features include: accurate political boundaries and place names, time zone chart, latitude and longitude grids, and three inset tables with the world’s largest countries by size and population, and the population of the world’s largest urban areas.

This classic-style map of England and Wales shows political boundaries, major highways and roads, cities and towns, airports, and other geographic details. Thousands of place-names and exact borders are carefully researched by National Geographic’s map researchers and editors ensuring the utmost accuracy.
