Mercator World Map Jigsaw Puzzle
Beautiful world map in classic Mercator projection. The Mercator map projection was invented by the Flemish geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1569. It became the standard map projection for nautical purposes and is still used commonly for navigation. A variant of the Mercator projection is also used by Google. Something one has to bear in mind when looking at a Mercator map is that it distorts the size and shape of land masses, as the scale increases from the Equator to the poles. Thus Greenland, Canada, Skandinavia and Russia, for example, look much larger than they actually are. This beautiful map was created from NASA satellite images and data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, showing a relief of the land surface and shaded ocean depths.

I bought this jigsaw in 252 pieces because I originally bought it in 110 pieces. I found it a bit of a leap in terms of time commitment as this one took me approx 5 hours. It was definitely challenging and was on my boundary of tolerance. This is because I like to complete a puzzle in just a few hours. I find thousands of pieces tedious and having to store them leads to lostvpieces. I can never commit Diego busy lifestyle and not knowing when I will find the time and or motivation to go back to a puzzle.
The puzzle comes in a really durable gift box that will keep puzzle secure for a long time. It also fits neatly on to a small bookcase for storage. The image was centrally fixed with no border lines,it was also very good quality image.

I created this puzzle online as a gift for my son-in-law and it turned out awesome! Creating it couldn't have been easier or more fun. The printing is clear and of good quality. I would highly recommend Zazzle.
