From the publisher's website: "These are the first global contiguous WIF maps to date! All at the same consistent scale, they cover the entire Globe in 24 sections printed in full-color heavy stock gloss paper. You can use the sections separately or connect them for the full global map. Total size of the map is height 9ft (2.7 meters) and length 21ft (6.4 meters). That's nearly 200 square feet of map!" "The world map accurately depicts terrain at 90 kilometers per hex showing all major rivers, coastlines, island chains, and mountain ranges." The maps are identical in terms of scale to some of the old maps, however they are now expanded and continuous.
