This was a gift a few years ago and although we never used it, as you can see by the lack of anything being scratched off, so I am calling it 'new'. It could be that there have been some minor changes to the world. Place names and exact borders do tend to change over time, so there might be some slight inaccuracies in the map itself. But the idea is fun. If you travel a lot, display this and share where you have gone. The epitome of 'Been there. Done that.'
