Our Vogue Renaissance World Map Wall Decal is a re-positional fabric material. The material is easy to apply to smooth wall surfaces. The material makes it easy to smooth out. The map can be removed from the wall at any time by just peeling it off.

Geographic Data: We use modern GIS mapping software to accurately create the map features. We add labels for the countries, USA states, territories, and administration boundaries throughout the world. We label major cities names, popular travel destinations, significant sites, and points of interest around the globe.
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. everywhere on Earth). This is most visible in the largest mountain regions around the world.
