4.0 out of 5 stars Solid map for casual use., September 28, 2009

The product shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube, rolled up nicely while wrapped in plastic inside the tube. I recommend not taking it out until you are ready to hang it up or lay it down with weights or tape, as the map is very recalcitrant when trying to be handled without proper preperation.

As for the actual map, the contrast in colors between the states is nice, and the depictions of Alaska and Hawaii on the bottom-right of the map are quite large and very legible. A rather nice size for a casual map that is nice to refer to from time to time. The only gripe I have about the map is that I don't feel the state capitals are distinguished enough, as you have to extensively search in states with many roadways.

Sincerely, I can't quite understand these lamentations about the map being too thin. It came in a great shape, and it looks great on the wall. Of course if you want to tear it up, you'll be able to do it. But if you just let it hang there - it looks nice, and you can wipe it if you wish, and you can touch it, and everything - it is laminated indeed. So no complaints about the quality.

What I did not like about it is that cities and towns are not ranked according to their population, or at least this ranking is not clear. As a foreigner, I'd rather prefer to have some basic idea about what is big, and what is small. The other thing that I did not quite like is that the main 48 states, Alaska and Hawaii are all given at different scales. Maybe it is common for maps here in the US, I don't know, but I personally found it rather annoying. Otherwise, the map is just great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, just what I needed, September 17, 2011

I received this today and I don't see why others are complaining about the quality of lamination. This map costs less than it does to get a 32x50 in sheet of paper laminated, so I wasn't expecting that kind of lamination and it isn't. But it's great for what it is, and seems pretty durable to me. The packaging was better than another map I had earlier ordered from amazon (which cost more, wasn't laminated and I had to return - because it came creased). Great product for what you pay, and will suffice for most people's needs.

The colors are contrasting enough to be clearly differentiable and not too bright to look tacky. I'm not expert so can't vouch for accuracy, but it was wise of them to make the roadways a little lighter so that the map remains legible, while still being able to see all the roadways.
