Wooden Maps Buying Guide
Start with the look you want: layered wood, colourful geography, evening lighting or a flatter wall display. 68travel makes its core wooden map range in-house. This guide compares the materials, details and effect on your wall to help you choose.
Start with the map family
Choose an engraved 3D map when you want stained wood, visible layers and a calm, natural focal point. Choose full-colour 3D when countries, rivers, lakes and graphic map styles matter most. Choose LED when the map should also shape the room after dark. The two LED families let you pair lighting with either the engraved or full-colour look.

What to decide before ordering
Measure the available wall space, then choose a size from the product options. Decide whether you prefer stained wood, a colourful map or LED lighting. Before ordering, check the wall surface, allow time for installation and choose any optional accessories. If the map is a gift, consider the recipient’s room and preferences too.
For travellers, a map can hold memories of places already visited and plans for the next route. For a gift buyer, the same choices help turn a beautiful object into something personal for a home, office, anniversary or housewarming.
