What would be a great way to hang this map besides thumbtacks? There was one suggestion about PVC pipe, but it doesn't look very flat in the picuture

We mounted ours on a large sheet of foam core using photo mount spray adhesive. It worked great. The thickness of the foam core allows us to use stick pins to track our travels.

Hi Teresa,I built a custom frame with the help of my dad. I got decorative molding from home depot and painted it, and nailed it on top of a frame we created from 2x1s. We used spray glue to mount the map to a 1/2" piece of foam core, big pink one from home depot. then we backed the map with brown paper and used framing tape to tape the map to the back of the frame...much like you see from custom framing places. This allows me to put pins in the map, as they stick in the foam backing, and i have a great looking frame around it as well. it is the main piece in my living room, and i always get positive comments from people about it...fun conversation piece. Hope this helps. gf Hi Teresa,I built a custom frame with the help of my dad. I got decorative molding from home depot and painted it, and nailed it on top of a frame we created from 2x1s.

Depends on if you are going to use this for display or as a functional tracking map with locator pins. Velcro tabs work great for either.

I just bought this and did 3M velcro on the back in a lot of spots. That way I do not puncture the map.

If there is a will, there is a way, it is a small light weight light so you could hang it if you chose to. Literally a thumbtack would hold the weight I believe. Of course you want to use something stronger...but yes you can figure something out very easily.

I'm not sure I can answer that. My interest was in cuting the map's land masses off the map and using them on a piece of canvas to get the sames right. Then I used a glue to paste postage stamps into the sames of the land masses. It was not important to me to get boarder lines correct because it was the world not the contries I was after. See the results. http://texnormanartist.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-stamp-map.html

I used 10' x 2'' PVC tubs from Lowes. Works like a dream. Used 1/2'' self-tapping screws to attach canvas backgrounds to tub. I also used 1/2'' tubs on the leading edge of the canvas to make them keep their shape since they tend to try and roll to one side or the other.

It's intended to be used as a map holder, u can fit something thin as paper maybe thicker in there too

I will have an adapter that you can use regardless the pole diameter and you don't have to climb and it's mount on the side directly above the flag. Give me 24 hours and I will have on the market! You can see the picture on the customer images, the second on the left all the way to the 2nd row from the bottom!

I have this map and have looked at Micheals for one, and unfortunately, they do not sell them in this size. You would have to get a custom sized frame or larger size with ill-fitting matting.

Hang as instructed plus add metal S-hooks at each hanging location. Tried to send picture, but couldn't figure out how to attach.

I'm planning on getting cheap plywood or foam from a hardware store and using either spray tacky glue or modge podge to "mount" it. I'm going to paint the edges of the plywood or foam with craft paint and buy it about a half inch larger than the print for a small border. There are a lot of DIY websites with these projects that look great.

You can use the really heavy duty thumb tacks that come with it or the velcro. I used both. It's really very well made and not flimsy.

I would make a template of cardboard first then punch holes for mounting points. beauty is you waste nothing and find the best mount points for your bike and like before it has been said use zip ties.

Per Classic Store Fixtures.. This Bulletin Sign Holder is not available in Lanscape form. However, you can make minor adjustments to this product to fit a landscapeing view. All you need to do is drill two holes in the side and mount it to the two uprights in the sidways/landscaping form. That is a very good idea you have came up with. I think I am going to talk to my manufature and see if this can be done and sold in both forms. thank you for the great feedback. thanks Ben ELkins Classic Store Fixtures

Thanks a lot, Rossi! Will be working on them shortly.BTW, what about the map application that comes with 08? because I'm stuck trying to figure out how to make any use of it... Any have the experience of downloading maps from the web and make it work MANNUALLy? because direct downloading and installing seems impossible!!! Thanks!Josh

One co-worker used thumb tacks and another just used those thin nails that you would use to hang a picture. They both work great and the thumbtacks still haven't came out even though the folder is pretty loaded down =)

I love the map and it came with all that. You really don't need instructions on placement. You have choices as to what you want to be the focus. Depending on the 8 panels to select, you can have a Europe, Asia, or Americas central focus. I've set up Alaska on the western side and Asia on the eastern. It's an Atlantic euro centered focus. I have bought two maps like this and never used the glue. It goes on like wallpaper and isn't suitable for removal...ever. I'm a teacher and place mine with double side scotch tape. First I've used 1 inch squares than the rolled kind. That worked great with pieces used every two feet or so. I've also used thumb tacks on a dry wall. It also worked great. Depending on what you're doing, either should work. Reply back if you need more help.

there are much better ways to hang and display maps. this is designed to hang vertically with the door that opens and the hangers on the back.

Try that gummy/putty stuff for hanging posters. I think it's called "fun tack" or something like that. Keep in mind, though, it can be hard to get out of tiny crevices.
