Customer Reviews

Great map for older kids
I purchased this and the "World Map" together from Amazon, since they are made by the same company on the same material, much of my review will be the same:

I was hunting for maps large enough for a 6 and 10 year old to look at and comprehend, but cheap enough to be replaced once things change or the kids did too much damage to it.

The positives - this map is correct, it's large (we tacked them up in the hallway to the kids' rooms) and it's very colorful, which is good for 6 year olds. It has time zones, capitals, waterways, and mountain ranges all clearly marked

The negatives - it's not laminated, now if I was buying this for myself that would be fine, but the paper is also some strange form of paper that attracts and holds small sticky fingerprints. Being maps, little fingers are naturally attracted like magnets.

If you are making the purchase for an adult or a classroom, or if you intend to frame it, then I highly recommend this map. If you are buying for little ones, I'd spend the extra money to get a laminated version.

One last note - if you purchase from Amazon, they are not particularly well packed. They put them in a tube that is too large for the map so it bangs around and the ends get a bit bent up. Also they don't tape the ends of the tube so I had to have a second one sent after my first tube arrived empty and without ends on it. (It was actually the world map that was missing from the tube, but this one was packed in the same manner)

A Great Reference and Conversation Piece
I have this map displayed in my cubicle at work and it has proved to be a great reference and conversation piece. It's a good size and very colorful. I especially like that it came rolled in a tube instead of folded. It's easy to read and just interesting to look at. People stop by my desk often to talk about where they have been and where they'd like to go and ask me the same. It's a good way to brush up on U.S. geography at any age!

US Rolled Map
The map itself is excellent. It is very colorful and the states are clear and simple to read. However the way it was sent damaged it so that when I took it out of the box it had crease marks. I was a bit disappointed as you can see it when you look at it on the wall.
