The title you gave the map still sounds like an overstatement. It's pretty good. Greatest, though? I, a casual observer, don't see that. The mapmaker talks about "basic geographical awareness", and he has some good points (like the population density one), but I don't see it as being this important. Is there really as big a crisis of mapmaking in the US as the article makes it seem? and is it as important? I don't remember encountering such a problem in Russia or having trouble orientating myself on any given type of map.
