**Anniz** has promised me not to read this thread, as it’s about a gift I want to give her for our wedding. I want to get her a nice wall mounted map of her homeland, Sweden. I’ve checked the National Geographic, but they don’t have anything more specific than continental (all of Europe, not just Sweden/Scandinavia). I did a Google search, and found some sites, but most were in Swedish, and there was one in Danish. I’m starting to gain a passable understanding of Swedish, but not nearly enough to navigate an e-commerce site. I’m wondering if anyone could help me find a map that I can get framed here in the States for her. **Soda** , **Floater** , **flodnak** , etc., are there map stores near you that would have a good map of Sweden? I’d like to get something poster-sized, but I’m flexible with the size. Just something nice. I did find [this one](http://www.maps.com/cgi-bin/magellan/Map_Store ___Wall_Maps___ International_Wall_MapsWYC_SCANDI?SessionID=qGjyH7mn&Args=&Pos=72) on an English site, [maps.com](http://maps.com), but it’s not current, and it’s Scandinavian, not just Swedish. I do like the map, though, as I personally prefer old maps, but this isn’t for me, it’s for Anniz. Thanks a lot. ---

I can probably help you. Would you prefer poster-size? “Just” regular map or special kind? ---

Ja, map sized. Not anything that would cover a full wall, but something comparable with a movie poster (60x100cm). Something in that range. I’d prefer a rolled map, rather than a folded one, since a poster tube should survive being sent overseas, and a folded map might have creases still when framed. I went to e-mail you, **Juggler** , but your address isn’t listed. Also, Mods, there’s a typo in the subject. It should read “…Hej Scandidopers” not “Scanidopers.” Thanks. ---

Great, tack. I just e-mailed you. I’m more interested in a contemporary map, although that 16th C. map I linked to above intrigues me.
