I wanted to tell you that before I decided what scratchable map I should buy from Amazon, I spend some time deciding. I have read a lot of reviews and I have seen a lot of products printed wrong which are too hard to scratch (until the map breaks), so be careful of what you are buying.
But I bought my scratchable map from InnovativeMap. Why? Well, the answer is simple: it is low priced (I would have bought it even if it had been more expensive, taking into consideration the good offer and the high quality) perfect size, detailed, 2 maps in a package comparing to others which only have one, and the Amazon Choice badge (I personally always look for buying products with this badge and I always receive quality products).
Let me tell you a few more reasons to purchase this item.
1. I didn’t want a huge world map scratch off because it would have taken a lot of space, neither a small one were seeing details would have been more difficult, therefore 17x24 inch seemed like the perfect size. But, trust me, now that I received the map I can tell you that this is big enough.
2. The idea of having all the tools I could need thrilled me. The package also contains a US map, which is a very big plus considering buying it alone is 12$.
The package contains the following accessories:
● 2 guitar pick (very useful, easy to scratch with but don’t leave any traces behind)
● 3 stickers sheets (really funny, you can mark your activities wherever you go).
● cloth to erase the scraped remains and not to leave traces on the map (it is not advisable to remove the remains by hand, because you can leave small traces on the map).
● a useful magnifying glass to see the details, but honestly, I don't know if you need it because all the names are easy to read.
● a bag to keep all your accessories in one place without losing them through the house.
I can tell you that the US map is really cute! The size of 11x17 inches is more than enough and very detailed.
3. I wanted a correct and quite detailed map. As I told you at the beginning, many of the maps on the Amazon have cartographic errors, I am sure no one wants to buy something wrong. I was reading here a negative review mentioning the Los Angeles and Washington area are missing (names and marks) but it is not true at all. I had seen in the presentation pictures of the product, and now I can confirm that there is not missing anything, moreover, the Washington area can be easily distinguished by a big red square and capital letters. I like that the scratch off world map has the capitals of the states marked by a star, and even the most important cities. The same thing applies to the scratch off US map: capitals are marked by a red ball and the other cities by a white ball.
I'm amazed by the accuracy of the maps so detailed.
4. Big advantage that made me choose this map is the design. It is amazing. It has good contrast and a lot of colors very pleasant combined (it looks better than in the pictures). Talking about the quality of the paper, I can confirm that this is strong, maybe it is a little bit too strong because it took a few days to flatten. Anyway, I believe that is better to be durable than easily broken for being too thin.
Furthermore, the tube in which the scratch off maps came is very stiff (good for the maps protection) and has a nice design, the written glossy details gives an elegant note. You can also give it as a present without wrapping it because it looks cool.
There are not any other things that I want to tell you about this product. I know that I have written a lot and maybe I was boring, but there is good information that would have helped me before I bought a world scratchable map.
Taking everything into consideration, I am glad that I choose InnovativeMap, I am satisfied, and I truly recommend it. Worth every penny!
Thanks, InnovativeMap.
