World Political Mega Map 2200 x 1270mm (Pacific Centred) Cosmographics 2024

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)

• Scale: 1:20,000,000
  This makes it one of the largest commercially available world maps in print—ideal for making an impact in large rooms or public spaces.
