I admire the work that went into the Imus map, but looking at the example images in the article, I actually think I prefer the NatGeo map. My eyeballs seem to have an easier time resolving the place names, and figuring out what they refer to. I think its because NatGeo let the baselines for the text bend, while Imus insists they're all flat, making them looked "stacked" (I actually compared the maps and decided which one looked better before reading the caption saying which was which, and was surprised the one I prefered was the one NatGeo one.)
