What is the difference between the maps?: Check out this outline of our world Map Comparisons.
Geographical Data: The map is created using a combination of satellites and developed entirely using numbers, measurements, and GIS software.
We use the USGS LandSat satellite to visualize the landscape on land and NOAA's bathymetry data to visualize the elevation and topography of the sea floor. The famous Space Shuttle Radiometric Topographic Mission, SRTM Data, is used to gather the elevation height for the land. With the data, we applied a hill shade to visualize the shading effects (at 3 p.m. every where on Earth). This is most visible in the largest mountain regions around the world.
What's the difference between the Nautilus and Voyager World Maps? The Voyager World Maps feature blue oceans and the Nautilus World Map features the ocean in a spectacular spectrum of colors that enhance the visualization of the ocean sea floor.
Coordinating USA Map: The Nautilus World Map pairs with our Nautilus USA Map. The two maps feature the same colors and will look great in the same room. You can find all of our USA Maps within the Maps drop down menu at the top of our website.

Framed Map Size vs. Outside Dimensions: Our sizing choices specify the size of the printed map itself. Our frame options will increase the overall size of your final product depending on your selection.

Poster Prints: Each one of our maps is crafted individually, unlike mass-produced alternatives.
Our posters are available in various sizes, all tailored to fit standard frames, we include an additional margin in the print to prevent coverage by the frame's lip. If you intend to DIY a push pin map with one of our posters, be sure to let us know in the order notes to adjust the print margins to your specs. To maintain the map's impeccable condition, it is carefully rolled with a robust tube, eliminating any possibility of folds or creases during transportation.
