Physical Map of the World

Presenting our World Travel Map with Pins an ideal companion for uncovering the natural wonders of the World!

Whether you're a nature enthusiast, history buff, geography aficionado, or someone eager to delve into the profound history and culture of the World, this map promises an enriching journey of discovery.

Description

This beautiful world travel map features physical geography of both the land and sea. The land features both elevation and landscape (terrain) features. Use the comprehensive referencing in the map to visualize all nations and major cities in the world. This map also features historical and significant destinations in the world. The map is a delight to explore and plan travels!

The oceanography is based on scientific data (using over 2 billion data points and NOAA bathymetry) showing the topography of the seafloor including the ocean ridges, plate tectonics, and more! The geography of the island formations and continental shelves are fascinating to explore!

Our Signature Map! The Nautilus Push Pin World Map is an impressive cartographic work of art and science. The map can be used as a push pin map (map pins are included) or as wall art. The map is created with Fine Art Materials.

About the Map:  This inspirational push pin world map features a wealth of information about the geography and history of our diverse planet. We utilize terrain modeling to showcase elevation as well as landscape modeling to show which regions of the world are dry and which ones are tropical. The detailed information throughout this World Map is the result of years of geographic research and created by a professional Cartographer/Geographer.

In this map you can find the deepest point in the ocean, the tallest peaks on Earth, see the flows of the ocean currents, ancient civilizations, and historic commentary highlighting famous explorations and voyages around the World.

Geographical Data: The map is created using a combination of satellites and developed entirely using numbers, measurements, and GIS software.  

We use the USGS LandSat satellite to visualize the landscape on land and NOAA's bathymetry data to visualize the elevation and topography of the sea floor. The famous Space Shuttle Radiometric Topographic Mission, SRTM Data, is used to gather the elevation height for the land. With the data, we applied a hill shade to visualize the shading effects (at 3 p.m. every where on Earth). This is most visible in the largest mountain regions around the world.

What's the difference between the Nautilus and Voyager World Maps? The Voyager World Maps feature blue oceans and the Nautilus World Map features the ocean in a spectacular spectrum of colors that enhance the visualization of the ocean sea floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Canvas & Satin Paper Comparison

Satin Paper characteristics:

  • Modern Museum display, that features an ultra-smooth display surface with our professional mounting.
  • Beautiful fine-art, giclee, satin finish that is designed for rich color depth.
  • Perfect for the comprehensive, fine details, like those in the ocean bathymetry.

When compared to the canvas, the satin paper has a very smooth surface. Colors and details are rich and vivid on the satin finish.

Canvas characteristics:

  • The texture and feel of the canvas are attractive and offer a more historical or artistic appearance.
  • Features a fine-art, giclee, satin finish, which resists fingerprints and smudges.
  • Perfect for those with children or those who want a more tactile experience.

The canvas texture can compete with the labels in some of the complex areas of smaller maps. All of the labels are legible, and increasing the size of the map will help with this.

When will my map arrive?

Production Time:
The amount of time it takes for your map to arrive depends on where you live and how fast you approve the proof, if you’ve ordered a custom map. Standard maps usually ship the following business day, after your order is placed. Custom maps usually ship the following business day, once we have your approval of the custom design.

General Shipping Times from our map studio in Pleasanton, California:

Mountain states — 3-4 days after your map has shipped
West Coast — >3 days after your map has shipped

Will there be a hole in my map if I remove a pin?

One of the most frequently asked questions we get at GeoJango is about the holes left by moving a push pin after it has been placed on one of the push pin world maps. Specifically, we get asked, “Will there be a visible hole left in the push-pin map?” The simple answer is yes. However, we want everyone to consider that the holes are so small that they would be extremely difficult to see from more than a couple of feet away, even if you knew exactly where to look. So, even though there is a hole left from the puncture mark, it is small and barely noticeable, especially from a normal viewing distance beyond a couple of feet. Further, the integrity of the maps, thanks in part to the materials that are used, are held intact. High-quality materials combined with the small hole size help a lot, so you don’t have to worry about warping or tearing by normal pushing or pulling of the pins from the maps. This is true of all of our pin map options, including framed satin paper, framed canvas, and canvas wrap. Everyone can rest assured and take comfort that these made-in-America push pin maps are made with the highest quality materiels and will last for years to come.

Giant Wall Map Review

We did the large three panel world map with some personalizations. I had been looking for a quality push pin map that included national parks for a long time. This map is all that and more. It is absolutely stunning and an added bonus was the scientific details, and little notes you can personalize. The seller was wonderful and quick to answer my questions and create "mock designs" so I could see what it would look like. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quality world map
