Can this be used for a map and hung horizonally?

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.

No, the brackets on the back are only made for it to be hung vertically. You can add new ones to the back or take the ones on already and reposition them but I doubt you want to do that. You're better off getting a nice picture frame (36x24) and then matting it or centering it in the existing frame. Hope this helps.

As long as it has a current map loaded and you can receive a signal where your going... You should be able too...

Yes, but be aware of certain models. You will have to pay high cost for map updates.Make sure you buy a model that offers free lifetime up dates.

I went to Michael's and got a frame that is slightly bigger than the map. I used the black paper the frame came with to act as a background for the little bit of sides of the map that do not reach the frame. you can't tell, and everyone that comes into my office loves it. (sorry that phrasing is a little weird, let me know if i can clarify in any way)

The map is cut in 3 pieces and is like a sticker, you would need to frame it before you hung it in your classroom, or use the magnets but remember is not a whole piece, there are 3 pieces.

I put mine on the wall with pushpins. It's very large so I used three on the top and three along the bottom. It's a beautiful map. Not laminated though. Paper.

Tape is about 3/32" to 1/8" thick after backing is removed from both sides. Amount of compression is insignificant. I would imagine one could use sufficient vertical tape lines to hold the weight of the item you are interested in mounting with horizontal tapes lines along the to and bottom to assure fat fit. (Only vertical tape lines hold the weight of the item.) Since I do not know the weight of your map, I cannot advise how many vertical lines would be necessary. Hint: Wall should be dust free to assure proper adherence. I have had no slippage or peeling of tape used to mount sound deadening panels since mounting over three years ago and I am extremely satisfied. If you use enough tape, I would think prospects of success would be high. Good luck!

Probably not worth the trouble. It would be easier to just use proportional grid lines on a photo of the larger painting.

I would think that I would. I use mine only for the map as well. I think your biggest concern would be there is only one Velcro flap that holds it closed. Not sure if it could slip out through the opening.

Not sure never tried to upload a map. Sorry. Let me know if if the unit can do what you said.

I would think that you could. It basically hangs much like a picture would.

Haven't tried but imagine it can be done. After hanging it's stability depends on your anchor and on your storage content.

Definitely!! And we were VERY pleased with the size and vibrant colors on it. We gave it as a gift to our history teacher who had no maps anywhere �

One to two inches will not cut off anything. My wall height was about 7 ft. I ended up taking off just under 2 ft. of map. In the end I lost a bit of South America and half of Greenland. Width wise I lost New Zealand. But the majority I have in and it looks great. So if you are taking off only 2 inches you are fine. At the top and bottom of the map they have clocks from around the world and that was a few inches top and bottom. Hope this helps.

The glass desk top may be used by itself. As stated by a previous respondent, it is heavy and it has the metal pads which would sit off the wall. With black and bold color markers, the map would recede. I think it would make a very attractive dry-erase board. The weight would be the biggest concern.

Yes!!!! Beautiful Panoramics! It's so easy too, you just hold the button and go from one side to the other and it stitches it together perfectly for you! You don't have to line anything up or anything like that :)

I guess one of those really large poster frames would be fine. It's a nice map and doesn't necessarily need a frame.
