Simply put, this clever Google Earth component shows each of the voting precincts around the county and includes detailed electoral information for each.

Visuals can be customized within Google to change the appearance of the boundaries and add alternative icons. This makes for a great strategizing/monitoring tool for the upcoming elections.

Mash-ups with Google and now Bing are an increasingly popular way to add your own custom data and imagery to the great work done by these huge corporations.

That’s one way of describing our latest map format – the MAP PILLOW!

Who knew you could fall asleep on the North American Continent, but wake up on the island of Madagascar.

Now you can have your route map, sales territories, store locations, ports of call, flight paths or delivery routes applied to one of these super 14 x 16 pillows.

Printed in full color, the pillows are filled with a non-allergenic polyester fiber that can be fully machine washed. The pillows are durable and come vacuum packed, saving considerable space. Separate printing of each side means you can have dual images – for example a world map on one side and a local map on the other. Like all of our custom maps you can have exactly what YOU want.

If you are looking for a great geo-gift or promotional item, try new map pillows from Maps.com, and if you can’t decide, we suggest you sleep on it.
