National Geographic United States Wall Map - Classic (43.5 x 30.5 in) (National Geographic Reference Map)

big enough to show what we were looking for, great details, good quality

It's nice and shows alot of area some don't. Huge bigger than I thought. But that's even better.

Easy to show our progress

This map is very nice. I like the paper it's printed on and it's very detailed. I use it with push pins to record the places I have been and it's large enough to read. I would prefer they leave off the white border and enlarge the map itself. Overall I am very happy with it.

I really like the fact that the map has a plastic coating so you can outline highway routes and easily make changes. It also covers most of the major roadways in the US.

Only thing I don't like about it is it's out of date by about 5 years

My girlfriend and I love taking cross country road trips, and are using this map to plot out where we've been and where we want to go next. For this purpose, it works fantastically! The map shows all the major roads and many of the not so major ones. Sometimes a tiny town is missing from the map but honestly you'd need one that's ten feet by twenty to have everything marked on it. It's also got roughly color coded boarders for the states and regions, and is clearly labeled. Some of the lettering for smaller towns may require some slight magnification for anyone who has trouble reading small print, but I've got about average eyesight and I can read everything just fine. Finally, the map is just slightly smaller than a typical four foot by three foot framed cork board, thus making it perfect for hanging on the wall and using with map pins because it leaves just enough space around the map to tack other things, like notes or to store your unused map tacks.

I wanted a large wall map that showed many roads clearly as I wanted to highlight the multiple bicycle trips my buddy and I have taken including the current multi-year cross country trek. It's an attractive map and made of thicker paper so a black Sharpie line shows up well on it. I mounted it on a corkboard with a layer of poster paper underneath making for a good surface and I used colored pins for the start and finish points of each ride. I'm very pleased with this map and my buddy thinks it's "really cool".
