Product Features:

• Signature Classic style map with bright, easy-to-read color palette featuring blue oceans and colorful borders.
• Unique Pacific-centered view accentuates the Pacific Rim and focuses on Asia, Oceania, and the full breadth of the Pacific Ocean.
• Background shows mountain ranges and valleys in subtle shaded relief, with mountain ranges labeled.
• Major water bodies including rivers, lakes, glaciers, oceans, seas, gulfs, bays, straits, and bathymetry.
• Clearly defined international boundaries, cities, islands, airports, and physical features.
• Thousands of place names carefully and artfully placed to maintain legibility in heavily populated areas.
• Up-to-date international boundaries and territorial control reflect de facto status on the ground.
• Meticulously researched using multiple authoritative sources, including the U.N., U.S. Board on Geographic Names, and policies of individual governments.
• Accurate place names use a combination of conventional English names, official national names, and standard transliterations for non-Latin alphabets.
• Drawn in Winkel Tripel projection, minimizing distortions unlike other world maps (e.g., Greenland is shown the same size as Argentina, not South America).
