Congratulations to the entire Natural Earth Team! You have done a true service to the world community in general and to cartographers in particular. And, from what I’ve seen of the data, you done a great job in compiling and editing a very large amount of geographic information.
My hat is off to you all.

I just registered as a member of this enviable group. I’m radio frequency & optimization engineer in Vodafone Ghana and yet to download the map data.
I congratulate the effort of the group and its members who designed this map data which is vital to my work as an RF planner. GIS is mostly used for our nominal plans in terms of clutter etc.
My heart if also off to ya all.

Having lost hours too shoddy map data from so many sources, I can’t tell you how thankful I am to see this released.
Thanks so much!
(I’m a map enthusiast / programmer working on a geographic project that I am hoping to release early 2010)
