It's just one of the things I'd like to seem them do differently. <br /><br />I know Google has the borders up now, and at least thought they were previously. <br /><br />And no, I don't really expect them to be up to date with print maps. Although, in a time of social media and promotion it seems that a press release or tweet with how the map would look around the same time as official independence would have been pretty cool. <br /><br />Certainly not offended and welcome the criticism and conversation - thanks for reading. <br /><br />My Guess- South Sudan retains the brown color (I feel somewhat confident of this) and Sudan becomes purple.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00021755403005258279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165497653996608164.post-31873548670185538872011-07-18T00:53:25.058-07:002011-07-18T00:53:25.058-07:00I'm gonna be be constantly checking map colors...I'm gonna be be constantly checking map colors now, thank you.<br /><br />http://googleearthtimemachine.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17675035487143961272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165497653996608164.post-25854513419451431352011-07-12T08:03:37.789-07:002011-07-12T08:03:37.789-07:00Hey, fan of NG here (my comments do not reflect th...Hey, fan of NG here (my comments do not reflect the ideas of National Geographic), not entirely agreeing with your assessment. I wish the maps were updated faster as well. <br /><br />You might be jumping the gun a little bit, but it's not like YOU didn't see it coming: <br />"The CPA requires that the details of the independence referendum be worked out by July 9 of this year. National Geographic won't be out with a map showing South Sudan until well after the details have been worked out [...]"<br />I liked that post http://www.worldgeoblog.com/2011/01/nerd-project-political-map-of-south.html, but there's no need to call NG maps "old and slow." With regards to online maps, Google and Bing haven't even drawn in S. Sudan. But Print? You really expect them to be up to date in print two days later?<br /><br />Hope you're not offended by my criticisms. I like your blog.
