Our Nautilus World Map Wall Decal is an adhesive-backed, removable fabric material that can be applied directly on a wall. Better than wallpaper, the wall decal is easy to apply and re-position. The map can be removed from the wall at any time by just peeling it off.
About the Map: The Nautilus World Map is impressive. Wherever you decide to feature it, our Nautilus World Map is going to be the highlight of any room. Use it to track your travels, reference the world, and plan new adventures!

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. everywhere on Earth). This is most visible in the largest mountain regions around the world.
