"Precisely, I 100% agree. I love spreading their maps out on the table and taking my time examining and reading them.
Say, which maps are you missing? I'm surprised....."

Map Supplement

I think it is a shame that the April 2022 National Geographic issue didn't come with a map supplement of UKRAINE and its neighbors. (Unless they are planning one in May.) Gilbert Grosvenor would…Continue

Got a question. A few years ago I bought the NG on CD package and the Supplement Maps on Cd collection. Now they will not open on the newer computers. Any ideas? I know everything is on the…Continue

Surprise! I just received my March issue and it finally has a supplement! And it also is red lettered on the spine: "Poster: Bird Migrations". It is double-sided with bird migration in the Americas…Continue

"Thanks, Scott.
I think I saw most of those, but I still prefer a paper map in front of me where I can take my time looking at it. The Internet has its value too where you can copy or save. But you still can't beat National Geographic maps!…"
"I remember the "flak" Nat Geo got for that in 2014. I thought it was lame. They were showing reality w/ explanation. "
"Harold,
I know that you wanted to see a physical, paper map issued. I agree w/ your concerns and preferences. Along with what Tom already said about online maps being available, it is also the day of the internet . . . we're lucky to…"
"Tom, you may be right. I hope not. The map supplements were as important as articles in the magazine with historical notes, ocean depths, etc. I'm glad I have all mine and told my kids to hold on to them when they inherit them. I check back to…"
"So there are 5 versions?"
"Harold,
I remember back during the first invasion. When the rest of the world refused to recognize Crimea as Russian, the National Geographic Society caught some flak for altering its World map to show the occupation. Alas, they…"

Map Supplement
I think it is a shame that the April 2022 National Geographic issue didn't come with a map supplement of UKRAINE and its neighbors. (Unless they are planning one in May.) Gilbert Grosvenor would not have been happy about that! He always made it timely to get map supplements out so members could follow current events. Examples are the Apr. 1938 and May 1940 maps of Europe as well as all the maps during the World Wars.. Even maps of Russia were issued to show the breakup of the Soviet Union.I…See More
"Thanks George. Been awhile. Just wanted to be sure"
"thanks! I sort of lost track of them since 2016 . . . "
"Scott,
They are both in my map and supplement ALBUM. You can copy them from there. It is a continuation of Phil's good work. He had posted all of them up to the last three (including September's)."
"Tom, you did pictures of those right? Can you please send them to my email when you have a moment? "
"Harold,
The last loose supplement was in July 2020, 14 months ago.
The last perforated foldout was in April 2020.
Tom"

- About Me:
- Started collecting NGM in 1972. Remember seeing them in school in the 1940s during WWII. Have issues and supplements back to early 1900s. They had great maps and supplements for many years and then stopped - bad mistake! Now see they are starting again. Way overdue for new wall maps of the world, Europe, Asia, and Africa which have all seen boundary changes or new nations since last supplemented.
- Favorite National Geographic publication:
- National Geographic Magazine with map and/or picture supplements.
