STREETWISE® Worldwise World Map 2011 - Countries & Capital Cities with Global Time Zone Chart
Laminated Map of the World - Folding pocket size travel map featuring a world time zone chart
2011 Updated
For the armchair traveler and geography student, STREETWISE® gives you the world at a scale that fits easily into the palm of your hands. WORLDWISE depicts the world in two different projections, Robinson and Mercator, in an attempt to address the difficulty of depicting a curved surface onto a flat sheet of paper, which always creates distortion of the true layout of the earth's surface.
On the front the world is presented in the Robinson projection. Developed by Arthur Robinson in 1963, this is an elegant projection where the earth’s meridians are spaced evenly and curve gently toward the poles with the effect of minimizing distortion at mid latitudes. On the reverse side we show the world in the Mercator projection including world time zones. The Mercator projection was invented in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator and was, and still is, particularly useful for determining longitude. Nautical charts use the Mercator projection and many aircrafts use this projection to plot their routes.
WORLDWISE is more compact and practical than a globe of similar scale. You can see larger portions of the earth’s surface at once for greater perspective. Plus, the map conveniently folds into a format which you can transport with you anywhere you travel – try that with a globe!
