Where to buy .. a large world map?

[Alanslegal]

Hey guys,

I am looking to buy a large world map where I can post/hang onto a wall here at work so that my team can do some holiday planning, also pin places we've been etc. The size I am looking for is, around 2m x 1.4m or so.

I am based in SYD CBD so does anyone know if there are any stores in the CBD that carry these maps? Otherwise, I am also happy to drive into the 'burbs to pick one up or even purchase online etc .


Cheers,

Alan

They're in Sydney CBD too..

But a map on the wall is a mercator presentation which makes things look weird. I was given a Globe for Christmas and i've spent hours looking at it - its this one from the Australian Geographic store:

Antique-Style Full Meridian Globe 30cm

Looking at a globe really gives you a better feel for the directions that aircraft take. Check out the route from SIN to JFK on globe, compared to what you'd expect to see on a flat map..

BTW the Great Circle map above is from Great Circle Mapper - a great site for figuring out graphically the shortest distance between two airports..

ike this one: World Political Map (Pacific Centred) - Hema

Super Size: 1500 x 1000 mm

Thats the one (super size) that we have hanging on our office wall. Our sales territory is Asia-Pacific so its perfect for staff to refer to. I like the fact that Australia sits in the middle and is not off to one side like it usually is in large world maps.
