No more stooping or standing on a ladder is necessary to view this map, unlike the ridiculous vertically-mounted Appalachian Trail maps. (The A.T. runs approximately southwest to northeast, not north to south, so a horizontal mount is just as appropriate as a vertical mount).The color scheme on this version of the map has the states colored separately, showing incredible terrain detail with hill-shading. Most owners think the map is actually three dimensional at first sight!
