Europe Map TRAVEL® Magnetic Board – Coolgray (Light Gray)

A map as a magnet board is much more than an ordinary map or simple wall decoration. Our maps as magnet boards are designed to mark visited places, special memories, and new travel destinations directly on the map with magnet pins. This way, the map becomes a personal space for travel planning, travel memories, and new adventures.

You can even attach photos, plane tickets, or attraction tickets to the magnet board with a magnet.

Because a magnetic board needs to do more in everyday life than just be "magnetic." The construction with Alu-Dibond + Ferro foil has clear advantages over steel plate/sheet metal:

• Weight & Handling:
  Alu-Dibond is significantly lighter than steel. This makes transport, hanging, and handling (especially with large formats) noticeably easier.
• Warping & Waves:
  Thin sheets tend to warp or appear "tinny." Alu-Dibond, as a composite material, is absolutely rigid and does not bend – it remains flat even over years.
• Corrosion & Edges:
  Metal can – depending on material and coating – corrode. Also, classic sheet metal edges are often less suitable for living spaces. Alu-Dibond is the durable, clean solution for your home.

Please also refer to the product specifications mentioned above.

Our magnetic board is fully magnetic across its surface and designed for strong magnetic adhesion. Our small, lightweight magnet pins from the accessories are best suited: they are light, hold reliably, have the perfect size for marking locations – and also look especially harmonious on the children's map.

Additionally, classic fridge or travel magnets up to about 70 g (depending on the magnet type, even more) usually stick to the magnetic board. Please note: The actual holding power depends greatly on the strength, design, and contact surface of each magnet. Since there are very large differences here, we cannot guarantee the holding power of every single magnet.

Magnets require a minimum distance from each other to prevent attraction or repulsion due to their polarity. The larger the magnet, the greater the distance needed between magnets. Our small magnet pins need only about 15 millimeters of spacing between them – allowing for a relatively high density of location markers.

Both versions look high-quality – the difference lies in the function.

• Matte surface:
  Our standard surface with a non-reflective, calm look. It reduces reflections, looks particularly elegant, and ensures that the colors and details of the map come across naturally. Ideal if you want to use the map primarily as decoration and a magnet map.
• Whiteboard surface:
  This version additionally has a whiteboard function: you can write on the surface with non-permanent whiteboard markers and wipe it off again (e.g., bucket lists, travel routes, notes, dates). Visually, it is also matte but appears slightly “smoother” depending on the light compared to the standard matte surface.

Important: The whiteboard function also depends on the pen used and the exposure time – classic whiteboard markers that can be wiped off promptly work best.

To keep the design as minimal as possible, we design the land areas as solid colors. Optionally, you can display a road network on our maps. This road network is a simplified representation of the main highways of a country or continent. It offers two advantages: first, it gives the map and all its locations a clear structure, making orientation easier. Second, this visual addition visibly breaks up the background. This makes the map appear a bit more lively without losing its clear and minimalist character.

The "Road Network" option is not available for the MULTICOLOR maps: due to the multicolored land areas, a consistent contrast with the road network cannot be achieved.

Yes, you can personalize your map individually and make it a true one-of-a-kind. You have several options for customization:

Bottom left, you can either choose the Bourdain quote (default in English) – or have your own desired quote printed.

Bottom right, you have the option to add your name, family name, and even a small legend for the pins. You can choose from five different designs the style that suits you best. For businesses, there is also the option to have your own logo printed on the world map for a small additional fee.

If a specific desired location is especially important to you, you can name up to five places that must not be missing from your world map. After receiving your order, we will check for free whether these places are already included on the map and add them if necessary. Simply enter your desired locations in the comment field at checkout.
