I disagree, because the Imus map provides more detail. Perhaps it would help to view the map itself. Click full screen. The Imus map has information about:

1. The tree density

2. The terrain

3. The population-dense places

4. City features

Among other things. The NG map does not have this information. So comparing between two maps of the same size, the Imus map has a much greater amount of information without sacrificing clarity or readability.

    The NG map does not have this information.

The NG map is specifically stated to be political, therefore it doesn't have to have this kind of information. It's not good bashing something for what it's not.

Perhaps you're right about the rest, but I don't have it in me to investigate further at the moment.
