Product Information
Full details
The Splosh Travel Map is perfect for travel enthusiasts, geography buffs, and anyone looking to display their global adventures in a stylish, personal way. Its key benefit is the ability to visually document your journey with the included 100 pins, turning your memories into a sophisticated piece of wall art or desk decor. One caveat to consider is that at 45 x 30.5 cm, it is a compact display piece, so it may be better suited for highlighting specific key trips rather than documenting every small village you have visited.

FAQs
Can I use my own pins?
Yes, standard map pins will work with this board, though the included gold and silver pins are color-matched to the aesthetic.
Does it come with mounting hardware for the wall?
The board is designed for easy mounting, but please ensure you use screws or hooks appropriate for the specific weight and material of your wall.
Is the map printed on paper or fabric?
The map is crafted with a high-quality surface specifically designed to securely hold map pins.
Can the pins be removed and reused?
Yes, you can remove and re-insert the pins as many times as you like as your travel plans change.
What is the total weight of the board?
The board is lightweight, making it easy to hang on most standard wall types without heavy-duty reinforcement.
Troubleshooting
Map frame feels unstable on the desk
Ensure the stand is fully extended to its locked position and placed on a completely level, non-slip surface.
Pins are difficult to insert
The backing material is designed to hold pins securely; ensure you are pressing at a 90-degree angle to the surface for easier insertion.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sophisticated design that fits well in home offices or living rooms
- Dual-purpose functionality (desk stand or wall mount)
- Includes 100 pins to get started immediately
- Compact size is ideal for smaller rooms or apartments
Cons
- Limited surface area for extremely frequent travelers
- Not suitable for large-scale maps with high detail
- Requires careful handling during wall installation to avoid damage
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the map, decide first whether you intend to display it vertically on a surface or hang it on a wall. For desk display, ensure the surface is flat and stable. For wall mounting, use appropriate hardware suitable for your wall type (e.g., drywall anchors) to support the weight of the frame.
To keep the map in top condition, dust the glass or frame surface periodically with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the frame finish. When pinning, push the pins gently into the map material to ensure you do not fray the fabric surface over time.
