High quality high res map

I was also able to explicitly identify the font used. It’s “Barbedor” as far as I can tell.

Oh how I wish I had known this when I was doing my map.  I literally spent hours trying to figure out the font and I never did.  I ended up having to copy and paste sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many individual letters in order to correct the wording in the creases.  Well, I’m glad that you did find the correct font as I’m sure it saved you a lot of time compared to what I had to do.

I used this:

new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

You are kidding, right?  I tried using that website several times to try to identify the font and it never did it correctly. :x  Maybe I was using the wrong pic of a letter or something.  Oh well.  Like I said, I’m glad you didn’t have to go through the hassle of copy and pasting like I did.

Also, about your file size.  I had mine scanned at 300dpi but printed at 150dpi and it still turned out fantastic.  I dealt with a signage company in San Antonio and the owner really helped guide me to a good medium for printing my map on.  He stated he could print at 300dpi, but that it would cost a lot more to do that and I would not be able to notice the difference between 150dpi and 300dpi anyways.  He even showed me a sample of some prints that he had and I couldn’t tell any difference.  So, I am just letting you know that in advance if you want to have it printed out.

@ambilzi:

Sure, but what if I want to print it out at 150" by 70" some day?

:-P

Well then, if that is the size you want, you can have your map instead of the new car you’ve been wanting. :lol:

Hey IL,

Can you see about placing this file as the map sticky?  It is far better without the creases than the current picture.

Have you posted a link to this map already?  I ask because the one link I clicked on went to A&A50 and not Global.  It would be nice to have a high quality map to use when discussing a possible set of moves, and since there already is a poorer scan in the Stickies, updating it to better quality is in the interests of all.

Morning all.

Thanks for these high-res images, in my opinion they are the best I have come across so far.  Just a question to anyone who has had this printed off on a larger scale – what type of paper/material did you have it printed on, and how did you back it?

Thanks in advance.

I printed mine as a poster, and then I laminated it with mat-lam (low glare). I than stapeled vinyl material to a sheet of plywood and than used a spray adhesive to stick the laminated poster onto the vinyl (to prevent lifting air pockets).

Thanks!  I’ll give this a go…. although having just investigated the price of having a large copy printed off, I may have to save for a while.
