Detailed push pin world map: main advantages

Of course, you can always choose a simple world map with just the world’s countries and capitals marked on it. But if you travel a lot – such a map won’t have much use. A detailed wall map is significantly more valuable as you can use it in many different ways, for example:

• Mark the places you’ve visited more precisely. On a detailed push pin world map, you’ll find not only all of the world’s countries and their capitals, but also a lot of large and medium cities, islands, water bodies, and other geographical objects. Therefore, you’ll be able to pin not only the countries you have visited but also various other places in them. It’s especially relevant to people that travel a lot, like to explore the lesser-known destinations or visit the same countries several times.
• Plan your future trips in detail. A detailed wall map gives you an opportunity to mark the places you’d like to visit in the future, as well as plan the routes of your trips with specific stops. You can always examine your detailed map to get new travel ideas and discover new destinations.
• Use the map as an educational tool. A detailed push pin world map can also be used as a great education tool. By hanging the map in a well-visible place in your home, you can stimulate your child’s curiosity and interest in the world. Together with the whole family, use the map to mark the places you have visited together, dream about future trips, and learn some geography.

What’s so special about the detailed push pin world map from Trip Map?

First of all, detailed push pin world maps from Trip Map are distinct in their quality. All of the maps are handmade in our own studio, printed on natural canvas using only the original, high-quality materials. You can learn more about Trip Map quality here.

• High resolution. All of the detailed world maps are printed in high resolution so that even the smallest text on them is easy to read. The maps are manufactured only in realistic sizes so that you could really use them and read the text on them.
• Exclusive original design. All of the maps in Trip Map are beautifully designed and tested by our team, to make sure they are easy to read. In our e-shop, you can choose out of 20 original detailed push pin world map designs.
• Miller cylindrical projection. This projection was chosen after careful consideration: it has enough space for pinning in every continent and country; compared to other projections, in Miller cylindrical projection, Europe is a bit bigger so it’s easier to mark more cities; the map itself looks visually appealing and esthetic.

Does the size of the map have an impact on detailedness?

In the Trip Map e-shop, detailed world maps on canvas come in three different sizes: extra-large (150×100 cm), large (120×80 cm), and medium (100×70 cm).

It’s worth noting that the size of the map does not have any impact on how many details there will be. All of the map formats are detailed in the same way, only the size of the text is proportionately different. Also, the larger the map, the more space there will be for marking the visited places or pinning travel photos.

World maps have a lot of minute (but still easy-to-read!) writings on them. Because of that, detailed world maps are not manufactured in the smallest format (85×60 cm). For older people or those who have poor eyesight, it’s better to choose a map in the largest format: the text on such a map will be larger and therefore easier to read.
