Rand McNally & Company
 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
Microsoft Isn't Delivering The E-commerce Goods

 PROFILE
The art of cartography is alive and well at mapmaker extraordinaire Rand McNally. The largest commercial mapmaker in the world, the company is famous for its flagship "Rand McNally Road Atlas," but it also produces travel-related software ("TripMaker, StreetFinder") and educational products. It makes mileage and routing software for the transportation industry and sells its wares online and through some 50,000 retail stores (including nearly 30 of its own) across the US. The company is struggling to use its powerful brand name to compete online with rivals such as MapQuest.com and Maps.com. Founded in 1856, Rand McNally was owned by the McNally family until AEA Investors bought a controlling interest in 1997.
