Great Mercator Projection Map January 5, 2010
Scott Sanders
As other reviewers have said, this is a great map, nicely colored, laminated, and detailed. I have it hanging on the wall in my office and after a few days of looking at it I realized that both Greenland, Alaska, and Russia are HUGE and while I'll save the full cartography lesson, I realized that this is a Mercator Projection map. The projection was originally designed for navigation and by nature proportionally distorts the size of any land the farther it is from the equator. I will definitely keep this map up because of its detail and clarity, but I have also picked up a Winkel Tripel projection map that accurately shows sizes of landmasses and has very small distance errors - its a little less visually pleasing but is a better representation of the globe.

As our world becomes smaller, it is imperative we understand where we are on it. This map is the reference point that will assist my grandchildren as they mature. It's big enough and sturdy enough to handle this generation of cyber travelers or the next. I especially appreciate the grommets, so it can hang from hooks and does not need to be mounted. It comes in a mailing tube that has my youngest grandchild convinced he's getting wrapping paper for Christmas...bonus!

Great quality map. A good map for family use. For school, you probably need something more durable that can withstand lots of abuse.

Pretty nervous about ordering this map. Read so many bad reviews on this and other maps. I received my map in less than a week. I LOVE IT. It's absolutely beautiful. I love that its lamininated and easy to hang up. The packaging was superbly done in a hard cardboard tube. No complaints whatsoever! I would highly recommend.
