Updated review best in my review

UPDATE after first order had no mapThe replacement order came fast, and had both maps. The quality of the maps are fairly good. By laminated they mean the paper itself and not an actual layer of laminat. Looks really good and easy to read plus detailed. Good maps

Pros
  • High-quality materials that maintain their condition and image
Cons
  • The map's design is too focused on defining borders, leading to a lack of appreciation for the nuances of global cultures

Shipped all bent and damaged

I have no idea where you leave feedback about how an item arrives, but this was in a huge box that was beat up and the maps were dented and bent. What a waste! Clearly I didn't keep them for this price, who would?

Pros
  • Perfect for educational use in schools and universities
Cons
  • The map's design can be confusing to users who are unfamiliar with traditional cartographic conventions

great for school in my review

These maps are really great. That's my review. We use them as part for our home school studies. Great size and easy to read.

Pros
  • Value for money
Cons
  • The map is too generalized, providing little information beyond city and country names

Reversible!? for my opinion

This map was everything I was hoping for! It has a cute color in the pictures but when delivered, I realized it was REVERSIBLE! One side is the old time muted colors and the other is a more normal colored map. The fact that these maps came together at half the price of one map was amazing! This will fit so nicely in my classroom!

Pros
  • Accurate representation of the United States, USA, and world map
Cons
  • The map does not include any information on trade routes or international relations

Good quality wall maps

These maps are large and good quality with clear, precise print. The word "laminated" was misleading to me though. I expected a heavier lamination, this is more of a "coating" than lamination. You can write on it with a dry erase but I would like to frame them because they seem like they would tear if pulled on.

Pros
  • It provides detailed information about the United States geography and landmarks
Cons
  • The map doesn't incorporate regional or global mega-cities and metropolitan areas

Better than the picture.

It's really bigger & better than I thought it would be.I am terrible with measurements, but we love it. Make sure you have space for the largest ones.

Pros
  • Always interested in geography and current events. Maps are large, easy to read and sturdy.
Cons
  • The quality of the lamination is poor and can cause bubbles and wrinkles in the map

Inconsistent, inaccurate, and not worth your money

It’s a nice product but as someone who enjoys maps staring at maps I have a few problems, about half the lakes are the color of the ocean, which wouldn’t be a big problem if the other half weren’t a bright blue. Then there are certain overseas territories which are labeled such as multiple islands belonging to France but the other half of them aren’t labeled, it lacks consistency. Malaysia is two different colors, one of Indonesia’s islands is miscolored along with many other islands. Israel is

Pros
  • ATTRACTIVE USA AND WORLD MAP: rich colors and attractive styling makes for a wonderful gift or keepsake
Cons
  • The map does not account for population shifts and migration patterns

They really are huge. Measure. Size matters.

These are really nice and just what I wanted but I apparently think my office is bigger than it really is.just make sure u measure. I was lazy and didn't. The quality is great and I love my wall of map!

Pros
  • ‎Signature Edition
Cons
  • The map lacks any indication of local population distribution

Beautiful, too expensive to frame

They're beautiful, but huge. I had hoped that there would be more detail with a map this large. Also, it's so expensive to find a frame for this size that I have opted to return them.

Pros
  • Unique design that's perfect for collectors
Cons
  • The map's laminated surface can create pronounced lines and glare, which can make it hard to view in its entirety

Kids are leaning new things

We hung these up for the grand kids and they look at them all the time when they have questions about geography they are very well constructed and easy to see - very nice

Pros
  • Comes in a variety of languages
Cons
  • The map's scale can be too broad to capture local information at an actionable level

Very Satisfied 😎 for my opinion

Nice addition to the Man Cave. Always checking them out and learning something new. Used some rolled duct tape on the back and just slapped em up on the painted cinder block wall. Highly recommend, good purchase.

Pros
  • Laminated for durability and longevity
Cons
  • The map's surface can exhibit signs of wear and tear if improperly handled

Perfect for us - my new review

After wishing for a world map for years I finally ordered this one. I like that it's two sided; one beige tones (my preferred version) and the other side is bright and colorful. Very happy with it, even though I don't have space for the second bonus US map. Wish they could have been ordered separately.

Pros
  • This is a Christmas gift
Cons
  • The map does not include any information on time zones or population density

Good detail and value

Still hanging in my office. Both have good detail and are easy to locate what you are looking for. Great value compared to a map store I visited.

Pros
  • Looks very nice - just what i wanted, US map shows main roads & highways very well
Cons
  • The design of the map is too busy and difficult to read

Good maps, better customer service

Like many recent buyers, I was shorted one map. I simply contacted the seller and they shipped the missing map directly and I had it in a few days. This is how customer service should work. Thank you, Swiftmaps!The maps are what I expected. Sturdy, laminated. Good value.

Pros
  • Large and detailed, perfect for explorers or travelers
Cons
  • The map's focus on political rather than ethnic or linguistic boundaries can lead to classification errors

I like big maps (and I cannot lie)

I know these aren't topographical maps but I am surprised, however, that in a U.S. map almost 12 sq. ft. that Lakes Okefenokee, Tahoe, and Pontchartrain are not labeled but lakes Winnipeg and Nipigon in Canada are. Nor can I find Breckenridge or Aspen in CO (maybe small but economically significant). I can see a giant lake outside Burlington, VT that I would love to know the name of.And the World Map? Only two cities north of Yellowknife in Canada are labeled, one city in all of Greenland, and…

Pros
  • It provides a detailed look at the political climate of different regions
Cons
  • The map's size makes it effectively impossible to mount in most apartments or smaller rooms

Great size: my feedback

Loved the size and that it is rolled, not folded. However, it still looks like an accordion from the rolling. It's been framed for about a month, no change.

Pros
  • ‎4 ounces
Cons
  • The map fails to account for changes in maritime borders and territorial waters

Great corona lockdown present!

Huge hit! My guess that these would help the grandsons with their lockdown studies was spot on. The 13 year old claimed them for his bedroom wall. Now for his birthday he wants a globe. (11 yr old isn’t so much there yet.)

Pros
  • LAMINATED MAPS: Each wall map printed on 80lb Poster Paper and laminated on both sides with a durable 3mil laminate
Cons
  • The map's surface can develop scratches and scuffs over time, reducing its long-term value

Great Maps in my review

I got these as decorations for my travel themed apartment. They add great color to my apartment. These maps are large and sturdy and were easy to secure to the wall.

Pros
  • Provides an enjoyable learning experience for all ages
Cons
  • The map's large size may discourage people from buying it for fear of taking up too much wall space

Disappointed in my review

The world map has tan ocean instead of blue like the picture shows! Now I have to the time to return the map. I wouldn't have bought it if it had the actuate picture.

Pros
  • ‎FBA_RM SIG USA WORLD SET LAM FBA
Cons
  • The map is too expensive for casual users who do not require detailed geographic information

Great detailed current map

We are mounting this on our wall so we can put push pins in it and track where we have been. Will mount it on 1/2 poster board first.

Pros
  • Provides a clear understanding of the political and physical boundaries of different states, countries, and regions
Cons
  • The map lacks any information on individual states or counties within a country
