 If you use a Mac, you're stone out of luck August 4, 2007

The previews on this set are JPGs, so why did NG use some form of encoding for the main maps that makes them unreadable on a Mac? Other "Windows-only" CD collections don't, which means that even if we cannot access the interface (and, say, the search function), at least can see the content.
Shame on NG for excluding the rest of us in this way!
 WORKS FINE WITH XP September 18, 2006

NG Maps works fine with XP and XP Pro. In both, the user can
select a compatibility mode to emulate any MS OS from
Windows 95 to Windows 2000 and everything in between. The only
con with the program is it runs in low res mode. For people
who enjoy maps, swapping the disks won't be a problem. If you don't
know how to change the compatibility mode, try the "Help". All in all, the maps are great.
Avoid this product until it is fixed. December 28, 2005

I've tried installing this on two different computers. It "successfully" installed on my old HP laptop, but the software was absolutely terrible--unstable and very difficult to pull up maps when it wasn't crashing. The program just plain won't install on my new desktop (Athlon X2 3800+ dual core CPU, Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo, 2GB RAM, Windows XP Pro). All I get are error messages. If I could give this negative stars, I would. As a geographer, I'm sorely disappointed with NG for putting out this garbage.
What a disappointing experience! September 11, 2005

These are some of the most wonderful maps in the world, especially from a historical geography perspective. But of what use are they in this format? It is difficult to search, impossible to browse effectively, and there is no way for an educator to present these images in any sort of useful format. I would suggest buying this collection only if you have hours of free time with nothing better to do than switch back and forth between 8 CDs for mild (but frustrating) entertainment with a nice glass of wine.
