Audience

Albeit of the rapid extension of the map-covered area, the present average reader of MAPIRE is still dominantly from Hungary. It is probably because of the popular presence in the Hungarian media. However, skipping this effect, we can see that readers of the countries, whose maps are presented in MAPIRE (Germany, UK, Belgium, Italy, Finland) have been also appeared (Fig. 3), as well as the readers from earlier Habsburg territories.
