how do you scratch off the map?

I used a canadian dime... any coin would work. A spoon works well... I even used my finger for the smaller places like hawaii and thailand. Really anything works

No, they're not. Before you scratch it, you can only see the limits between countries. I confess I used Google maps to scratch in the correct area... because once scratched only the capitals and most popular/important cities of some countries are marked with dots and stars.

The map will zoom almost forever in either direction. As you do so, your trail will disappear from the screen. You might spend the rest of the hike finding it. I bought it only for the track feature, and find it useless. The cursor barely works -- you'll spend more time trying to press buttons than you do hiking.

You scratch off the areas that you've traveled to. As you scratch through the gold surface you reveal bright colors beneath. We look at it kind of as a "to do" list of the world since there are still lots of places we want to see!

It has to be scratched off with a razor blade or something similar. But it is not too difficult.

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

We did our own framing by buying the right size frame and removing the glass--the whole point of the map is being able to continue scratching off countries you have visited. We secured the map using double-sided tape. It took two persons to tape it down starting from the center and smoothing out the map to the corners. Make sure you unroll and flatten the map before you place tape on the back and take tour time to prevent bubbles or crookrd placement on the frame backing. Looks great framed. We use a needle or pin to genly and slowly scratch. If you are not careful, it is easy to tear the paper or scratch the wrong area if it is small.

Some of the older machines came with a stylus that had a slot in it. You would put the printed tape in the slot, about half way and then turn the stylus slightly backward and pull straight out. It would pop a bubble in the end of the tape and peeling was simple. I imagine you could do the same thing using a pen with a clip on it.

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

Shake one pen for 30 seconds. Take the cap off and press the tip onto some scratch paper and hold down for 30 seconds. Take the pen off the paper (allowing the tip to come back out) and then press it back down for 10 seconds - repeat this last step until you see the color come out. Some colors take longer to come out but this should work!

Yes, just stick your fingernail underneath one of the corners (I do it in the bottom left corner so I can grab it with my right thumb and index finger to pull it up). It's as easy as that! Also, make sure you don't have a phone case on, that will make it was more difficult than it needs to be haha.

I'm surprised there aren't any directions. Not cool on the senders part. For most of these I've just had to rub them on using a flat edge, like a credit card. Once you rub the letters on, then you slowly peel the backing off. Takes practice and a little time.

you need something thin, like a finger nail or blade and pick at one of the corners. It will be a pain in the beginning, but you will get used to it.

There's a little tab for you to pull. Similar to the 3M hook products that don't damage the walls. The tab pulls the adhesive sticker and it comes off.
