Our new graded-series of maps are the first to address the unique needs of K-12 students as they advance their understanding of our World. Unlike other classroom poster maps, ours utilize the Winkel-Triple projection, which provides the best combination of size, shape, and distance giving the student the best visual representation of the Earth's surface. This solves the effect seen on other maps where Greenland appears larger than South America. Our Physical Series, grades 6-12, helps advancing students understand the World's diverse landform, Oceans, and our Nation's terrain.

I have always wanted a large wall map in my home and definitely planned our basement family room with one in mind! This was an amazing price. It’s a little tricky to install (for wallpaper novices!) as it has 3 panels that need to get lined up, level, etc. We ended up with some very small (unnoticeable from a distance) imperfections at one of the seams. The instructions stated we needed a gallon of the commercial grade wallpaper paste-I could not find the commercial grade type they suggested . We purchased the only type a home improvement store had and it worked just fine. We bought the largest container and now have a 34 full container of wallpaper paste remaining! I have spent a lot of time staring at this map and have noticed there is a very slight color variance in our center panel. (The blue of the ocean is lighter in that panel) I am the only one to notice this. For the price, and the overall end result I am definitely able to overlook this!. Heidi. South Dakota.
