World Political Marco Polo Wall Map

Bought this to help with the kids' school work and very happy with this map. The size is nice and large as described, and is printed on high quality, glossy paper. It was packed rolled into a plastic tube (unlike some other maps which people said were folded and therefore with ugly creases) so it was super easy to open and put up. The map is based on the Van der Grinten projection so countries away from the equator tend to show exaggerated (particularly Greenland, Canada and Russia) but that is okay I suppose. The little flags at the bottom are a nice bonus and help learn the flags of the different countries. Overall a great map for anyone interested in geography

Marco would be proud

any school kid will love it as a reference map.

Very Good quality print at this price

very good value for money

i liked it

I bought it for my class and it looks SO nice on the wall!! High quality and value for money.

This is a great quality map. It is nicely finished on glossy paper and came in a sturdy tube. I've been using it in my grade 2 class and it has held up well! The students loved that it had world flags on the bottom. Really happy with my purchase.

ich kann die karte mit einem wasserlöslichen stift beschriften und verändern. so kann ich reisen gut planen und orte (mit herzen) markieren, die ich bereist habe. die antarktis wird mit allen länderflaggen bedeckt, aber mich stört das nicht.

I picked this map because it's the only one I found with South Sudan on it. I also liked that the lines of longitude converge at the poles, suggesting that areas there are not as distorted as they are in Mercator projections. The map lists its projection as Van der Grinten which, while really only a minor improvement over Mercator, does at least indicate how map projections distort objects. Because the map repeats continuously to fill the whole area, it's easy to show how Alaska is one shape on the left and a different shape on the right. My only complaint is that it could be a little more detailed in terms of place names. Some minor place names are included where major place names are missing.

This is a beautiful map perfect for my boys bedroom. The flags on the bottom are fantastic and easy to identify. The durable finish is ideal for busy hands, very happy with this purchase. Great value for money.
