It looks like unlike previous products with poster maps that they've released, the 2024 DMG doesn't have the poster map in the digital release. Instead, it has the "overview" version found in the Greyhawk Gazzeteer, with thick red lines obscuring the view even in the label-less version, and with missing settlement labels to make the state labels bigger. The chapter intro has this boxed text:
Poster Map Included is a poster map showing the lands of Eastern Oerik on one side (each hex on the map is equivalent to 30 miles) and the Free City of Greyhawk on the other. These locations are described in the “Free City of Greyhawk” and “Greyhawk Gazetteer” sections later in this chapter.
And it's still there in the digital version, with no poster map included.
Updating this old Topic with my present frustration! WTH.
I just started to create my own very first 5e & also very first VTT campaign. I had recently started my campaign IRL which set in Eastern Oerik, which I discovered after having purchased the physical DM Guide. (I pulled out the poster and am desperate to keep it in good condition!) So today I finally decided to subscribe to (annually, high tier) and purchased the digital version of a book I already own with a desire to use this. I created my VTT and went to load Maps looking for the world of Greyhawk. I am unable to exaggerate how disappointed I am to find that this was excluded, and without any explanation. Grr! Hiss! Boo!
This is my very first post, on my very first visit to these forums.
--Nimglin & Kurrelguyre were my main AD&D characters from the late 1970's/early '80's --I resumed playing AD&D in 2015 (and continue to do so) --I began playing D&D 5e in 2025

Any chance this is an oversight?
Also curious what this is all about. Was the lack of a digital version intentional?

You can find it in the book in Appendix B:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/dmg-2024/maps#PosterMaps
You could then download it and manually upload it to Maps. I’m not sure why it isn’t there already.
