A Monumental Statement Piece of Modern Cartography by Cosmographics
Experience the world like never before with the World Mega Map – Pacific Centred, a breathtakingly large and visually stunning representation of Earth from acclaimed UK-based mapmakers Cosmographics. Updated for 2024, this extraordinary wall map is not only a valuable geographic reference—it’s also a captivating centrepiece for homes, offices, schools, and studios.
At an impressive 2.2 metres wide, this map presents a bold and expansive view of our planet in brilliant colour, using a Pacific-centred Miller Cylindrical projection that reorients the globe from a fresh, global perspective. Unlike conventional Atlantic-centred world maps, this layout places the Pacific Ocean—and the nations of Australasia, Asia, and the Americas—in a continuous, undivided sweep, making it ideal for travellers, educators, and anyone seeking a more balanced view of the world.
🔍 What Makes This Map Special?
-
Pacific-Centred Format
Most world maps place the Prime Meridian at the centre, cutting the Pacific in half. This map flips that norm, placing the Pacific Ocean front and centre, offering a more holistic view of global geography—ideal for residents of Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and the Americas.
-
Miller Cylindrical Projection
Designed to reduce distortion across the equator while retaining a clean rectangular format, this projection provides a familiar world view with improved proportions near the poles compared to the Mercator.
-
Updated for 2024
Includes all current international borders, country names, major cities, geographic landmarks, and the latest geopolitical changes to ensure accuracy and relevance.
-
Depth and Detail
Subtle bathymetric shading reveals ocean depths and seafloor contours, giving the map an added layer of scientific detail and visual texture. Every country is shown in a distinct colour, making national boundaries easy to identify at a glance.
📏 Size and Scale
-
Dimensions: 2200 mm (W) × 1270 mm (H)

🖨️ Printing & Material Options
Choose from three premium finishes to suit your needs and aesthetic preferences:
✅ 1. 160 gsm Heavyweight Paper (Unlaminated)
A traditional option with a smooth matte surface, this version is ideal for framing under glass. The heavyweight paper resists creasing and delivers crisp, colour-rich detail.
✅ 2. Laminated (Encapsulated in Gloss Film)
This robust option is fully encapsulated in dual-layer 80-micron gloss laminate, making it water-resistant, tear-resistant, and wipe-clean. Perfect for classrooms, communal spaces, or busy households. This map is designed to last for years with minimal maintenance.
✅ 3. HP Professional Matte Canvas (395 gsm)
Printed with fade-resistant pigment-based inks on premium-quality canvas, this option combines durability with elegance. The subtle texture and professional-grade materials make this a gallery-worthy map that fits beautifully into contemporary interiors, libraries, or executive spaces.
🪵 Optional Timber Hanging Rails
Upgrade your laminated or canvas map with our custom-made wooden hang rails, crafted in a natural timber finish and lacquered for protection. The top and bottom rails add weight and structure, preventing curling, while the top rail includes a hanging cord for easy wall-mounting.
⏳ Please allow up to 10 working days for delivery of maps with timber hang rails, as each one is made to order and professionally assembled by our framer.
