Features:

  • THIS MAP FEATURES A U.S. CENTERED WORLD MAP ON ONE SIDE AND A U.S. MAP ON THE OTHER.
  • THE WORLD MAP IS A REVOLUTIONARY MAP THAT PUTS THE UNITED STATES IN THE CENTER. Why does this matter? The traditional world map misrepresents the relationship between the U.S. and the Asia-Pacific region by separating them to opposite sides of the map; our teachers can’t even show the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor during WWII on the traditional world map. Only on the U.S. centered world map can we easily see the shortest route from the U.S. to any place in the world.
  • THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION IS THE FASTEST GROWING AREA IN THE WORLD. It contains 60% of the world’s population and 8 of the G20 countries, where the U.S. does 40% of its import and export business. This U.S. centered world map much more powerfully helps us to understand the importance of partnerships and challenges that the region offers to the U.S.
  • THE WORLD MAP CONTAINS AN INSET OF EUROPE AT A LARGER SCALE, TO MAKE IT EASY TO READ. THE U.S. MAP FEATURES MORE THAN 350 LARGEST U.S. METROPOLITAN AREAS. Ranking by population of metropolitan areas rather than individual cities more meaningfully represents the relative size of the cities.
  • The world map is the best world map for all Americans, especially our young generation, because it gives us a more balanced view of the world. THIS IS A GREAT GIFT FOR ALL AMERICANS, ANYTIME!
Love the world view with the US in the middle

very helpful for homeschool. Love the world view with the US in the middle. Helps my kids understand geography a little better this way.

My son loves this placemat!

I do wish it wasn't centered on North America but otherwise love it. It's awkward when it's North America centered - easier to see everything and more logical for North America to be to the left and Europe/Africa and Asia to the right. Otherwise, no complaints. My son loves it.

Great desk size map. Laminated easy to read both sides!

All that is supposed to be. Laminated nicely, the fonts are very dark, so easy to read with magnifying glass. Great size to keep on my desk, not too large.

Perfect

Love this. It’s about the size of a placemat so I use it on the table and study geographical info with a cup of coffee.

Great laminate map!

Nice sturdy laminate for a desk or even to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner on. Or for parents that have young children, they can read the states and capitals off to mom or dad while they are cooking or doing the dishes before eating or after.

Good portable maps on both sides.

I bought one at first then my sister-in-law's friend who visited from another country liked it so I gave it to the lady. Then I bought two more, have got several compliments so far. Some very small countries in Europe are barely visible; Lichtenstein for example did not have its capital listed. But I still like the map; it's portable and feel durable.

Classic US & World Map...

This is a very nice 2 sided small poster size laminated map... Having the United States centered on the world map side really shows it's relationship to the rest of the world in both directions... The time zones & other info on the world map is nice... The details on the USA map is also very nice... This was a gift for a new student in our school from China & an item on his gift exchange list... Very helpful for him... Wish I'd ordered one for myself too...

Very pleased with this product!

This is a very nice and handy reference for any person or group. It is a bit of an adjustment to have North America front an center as opposed to the traditional map setup where it is placed due West. As a nontraditional college student, however, it is extremely helpful to me to access the world map on one side and a U.S. map on the reverse side.

Love my map!

Following current events including serious weather conditions, I need to refer to locations. I keep it near my computer and being laminated I don't worry about getting it damaged. The flip side of the world map is a detailed USA map with major cities shown. Good investment for me.

Great size, great map

Wife wanted one this size. Hard to find, but very nice, good quality product.
