I kindof want a really big wall map (about a 90 by 140 in wall); I’m not sure where to get the quality that I want. I’ve been [here](http://www.mapsales.com/index.aspx?source=google3&kwid=wall_maps_p&gclid=CL-NraqvkZcCFQIWFQodLyvB-w) but the really big ones just seem to have the same resolution as the little ones. Why spend $700 on a map that gives me the same info as a smaller $300?

Plus I have to really really really decide if I want to drop that kind of money on a map. ANy doper map types out there that can help me get a good map? I would like a world and a USA map. Maybe put one on one wall and one on the other…or just go with a smaller size and put both on the same wall.

Looking for opinions on good maps and good sources.
