Best Wall Map for Tasmania

by Christopher O'Keeffe June 15, 2026

From Hobart and Launceston to the wild west coast, the central highlands, national parks, road touring routes, islands and remote regional communities, a large Tasmania wall map is one of the clearest ways to understand Australia’s island state.

Tasmania is compact compared with mainland Australia, but it is not simple.

It is a state of mountains, forests, coastlines, islands, rivers, historic towns, winding roads, wilderness areas, national parks, tourism regions, ferry routes, agricultural districts and remote highland country.

A digital map is useful for finding one address.

A wall map is better for seeing the island as a whole.

At Mapworld, the Tasmania Wall Maps collection includes a practical range of wall maps for homes, classrooms, offices, tourism businesses, government departments, logistics teams, travel planners, regional operators and anyone who wants a clear, reliable view of Tasmania.

The two key statewide choices are:

• Tasmania UBD 770 Map

• Tasmania Hema Wall Map

Both are excellent maps, but they suit slightly different users.

The Tasmania UBD 770 is the strong general-reference choice.

The Tasmania Hema is the strong road, touring and regional-travel choice.

For many customers, the best wall-map setup is one of each.

Why a Tasmania Wall Map Still Matters

Tasmania is a state where geography matters immediately.

The roads are shaped by mountains, rivers, forests, coastlines and heritage towns.

The west is wild and remote.

The east coast is a major touring route.

The Midlands connect Hobart and Launceston.

The north-west has ports, agriculture and coastal towns.

The central highlands, lakes and national parks give the island its rugged interior character.

A Tasmania wall map helps you see:

• Hobart and southern Tasmania

• Launceston and the north

• Devonport, Burnie and the north-west

• the east coast touring route

• the west coast and wilderness areas

• central highlands and lakes

• national parks and reserves

• major road networks

• regional towns

• tourism corridors

• coastal and island geography

• King Island, Flinders Island and other island context

A wall map gives the whole room the same reference point.

It is useful in:

• classrooms

• tourism centres

• travel agencies

• government offices

• regional planning rooms

• logistics businesses

• accommodation providers

• home studies

• offices

• boardrooms

• libraries

• visitor information spaces

Tasmania is one of Australia’s most beautiful states to put on the wall.

A good wall map makes its shape, roads and regions immediately visible.

The Two Main Tasmania Wall Map Choices: UBD or Hema

For most customers, the choice begins with two main map styles.

Tasmania UBD 770 Map

Best for clear, structured statewide reference.

The UBD style is practical, familiar and easy to read. It is ideal for schools, homes, offices, government departments and general Tasmania reference.

Tasmania Hema Wall Map

Best for road, touring and regional movement.

Hema maps are trusted by travellers, caravanners, touring drivers, visitor centres and businesses that need practical road and regional context.

Both maps cover Tasmania.

But they serve different purposes.

The Tasmania UBD 770 is excellent when the goal is clear state reference.

The Tasmania Hema is excellent when the goal is travel, touring, road planning and regional movement.

Tasmania UBD 770: Three Sizes

Mapworld offers the Tasmania UBD 770 Map in three key wall-map sizes:

• 690 × 1000 mm

• 1020 × 1480 mm

Each size suits a different room and purpose.

690 × 1000 mm Tasmania UBD 770

Best for:

• homes

• small offices

• compact classrooms

• reception areas

• personal reference

• travel planning

This is the compact Tasmania UBD option.

It gives a clear statewide reference without needing a large wall.

1020 × 1480 mm Tasmania UBD 770

Best for:

• classrooms

• offices

• meeting rooms

• tourism businesses

• planning spaces

• training rooms

• regional organisations

This middle size gives the map stronger wall presence.

It is large enough for group discussion and practical office use while still fitting comfortably in many rooms.

For schools and businesses, the 1020 × 1480 mm size is often the best balance of readability and convenience.

1380 × 2000 mm Tasmania UBD 770

Best for:

• boardrooms

• large classrooms

• operations rooms

• government offices

• tourism centres

• regional planning walls

It is easier to read from across a room and better suited to teaching, planning, discussion and professional display.

For serious use, this is the strongest UBD size.

Tasmania UBD 770 Formats

The Tasmania UBD 770 range includes several practical finishes depending on size.

Paper

Best for:

Paper is ideal when the map will be displayed rather than marked.

Laminated

Best for:

• classrooms

• offices

• boardrooms

• training rooms

• professional presentation

Hang rails give the map a clean finished look without full framing.

They are especially useful when the map needs to hang neatly in an office, classroom or public space.

Canvas

Best for:

• homes

• reception areas

• executive offices

• feature walls

• premium display

Canvas gives the map a warmer, more decorative wall-art feel while retaining its value as a useful Tasmania reference.

Paper, Laminated, Hang Rails and Canvas: Which Finish Is Best?

The best finish depends on how the map will be used.

Best for:

• classrooms

• offices

• boardrooms

• tourism centres
