It's about time someone called them out. Duncan appears to be resting on their past reputation. It seems to me like they are more concerned with trying to discredit their competition than they are with insuring the accuracy of their own product.

Did anyone else notice their comparison page? Features of Duncan Press current map, old map and their competitor's map? They compare their current map with Bizer's FIFTH edition map. They mention one change on the SIXTH edition Bizer map (the compass rose date) but the comparison chart is versus Bizer's FIFTH edition. Remember that the current Bizer map is the Eighth edition.

Why does Duncan not use the most current Bizer map for a comparison of features? I could understand their use of the seventh edition as the eighth is pretty new but using the fifth edition smells fishy to me.

Get real Duncan. Put more effort into your Duncan maps and web information rather than challenging the Bizer map. Just my opinion.
