• This South-on-top map pack by ODTmaps is a great educational tool. It challenges basic notions of ''up'' and ''down.'' True ''up'' from our standpoint on the earth, is away from the center, and the earth in space has no inherent up or down. It includes 3 maps at approx 36 wide: (1) What's Up? South! Map 24x36 laminated, (2) McArthur´s Universal Corrective Map - 23 x 35 laminated (3) Hobo-Dyer Equal Area - Two-sided: North-up Africa-centered/South-up Australia-centered; map is 11 x17 inches with heavy-duty 5 mil lamination, and (4) the Hobo-Dyer - Mead Museum version 24x36 inch sheet in paper-rolled format (but not laminated). This version is ideal for framing in a 24x36 inch poster frame. Image size on the Mead map is only 18x36 inches which leaves a total of six inches of white space above and below the map image. In addition to these four maps, you will receive 5 map postcards and a 4-page Explanation of the What's Up? South! Map with detailed references. Retail value of the component materials is $139 so this is a really great deal...almost half-price. AMAZON also sells many of the individual component maps individually. The What's Up? South!

The information that follows applies to just the The What's Up? South! Map at 24x36: this map includes an inset, which shows global views from various angles. In addition, other inset maps show examples of a variety of projections with notes on their merits and limitations. The main map is a Van der Grinten projection, which is a fair compromise between preservation of actual shapes, with less distortion of relative sizes than the Mercator projection. Details show major cities, railways, rivers, peaks (with elevations in meters), and ocean depths (also shown in meters), and each nation is clearly distinguished with color tints. Mountainous regions are indicated with shaded relief. For the scale of the map, the size of the print is larger than most other world maps, a feature which makes the labels easier to read. Clocks across the top show the world's approximate time zones. Because it omits theAntarctic region, the map shows the Equator top of center. Whats Up? South! offers a startling way to view the world, and a great way to shake people up and help them question their assumptions. For more details on the What's Up? South!
