Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I place an order ?

  Click "Shop" or "Shop Now" and follow links to the map you wish to purchase. On the appropriate map page, select the version and quantity you would like, and click "Add to Cart." At this time you can either "Continue Shopping" or you can "Checkout." After you click the "Checkout" button, please fill in your name, etc. and submit. Your shipping information will appear in my database and your order will ship, usually by the end of the next business day.
• Is shipping free ?

  Shipping to any US address free. The cost of shipping to Canada is $20USD for wall maps and $5USD for folded maps. For all other international orders, please visit Omnimap.com.
• Are your maps packaged well for shipping ?

  Here's what one customer said: "I just received the map I ordered a few days ago.  The map is gorgeous, but I was expecting that.  What I wasn't expecting was for the packaging to be just as impressive as the map itself.  Kudos to both the map maker and whoever packed it for shipping!" -TD, Paradise, Utah
• How was the Essential Geography of the USA made ?

  I made this map using Adobe Illustrator based on location data provided by my partner in such things, Pat Dunlavey. I estimate that my design and creation of the Essential Geography took 6,000 hours - about three years of average work time, compressed into about 24 months.
• Can a laminated map be framed ?

  Yes! This method of display is less expensive than framing behind glass, yet it still encourages the viewer to run their fingers over the map. My laminated wall maps are heat-sealed in 1.7 mil clear vinyl, an easy-care finish. You can also write on them with a dry erase marker. When a traditional framing with glass is appropriate, I recommend the poster paper version.
• Can you recommend an inexpensive way to hang my map?

  You might take a look at www.posterhanger.com
