Physical maps of the world regularly featured in numerous style magazines, such as Homes & Gardens & Elle Decoration. Country names & international boundaries are clearly displayed to provide political information. The maps, usually referred to by their publishers` old name of Defense Mapping Agency, are available in three sizes, presented on paper or encapsulated. Fewer cities & names of geographical features are shown than on other maps of similar size to make political boundaries stand out better & to give the maps their characteristic uncluttered look much favoured by interior designers for homes, offices &, in particular, travel agencies. Country names are in English & cities mostly in local languages (Warszawa, Wien, El Qâhira) with, where necessary, English equivalents. Numerous shipping lanes show distances between ports in nautical miles. Clocks indicate time difference from GMT (but without the maps showing the exact geographical area covered by each time zone). The largest size is overlaid with a grid of latitude & longitude at intervals of 1’ to help identify accurate position of various locations. Projection is Mercator.* Similar design is also used for a spectacular, huge (396 x 264cm / 13’ft x 8ft 8” approx.) *wallpaper* set supplied with wallpaper paste
