Santa Barbara based Maps.com is excited to inaugurate International Map Day on February 3rd (Observance February 4). Why this date? February 3rd is Ferdinand Magellan’s birthday, and he is the explorer credited with the first circumnavigation of the Earth, and therefore bringing the world a complete world map!
