Glowing Pegs US Travel Map

February 27th, 2008 by Edwin in Home Gadgets

travelmap.jpgHow many of you US citizens have actually traveled the length and breadth of your huge country? Not too many hands, I see. Well take the Glowing Pegs US Travel Map as an indicator of all the states you have visited (or have yet to).

This is the wall map that uses multi-colored translucent pegs that glow when inserted into the maps back-lit surface, dramatically illuminating your cross-country family drives and dream destinations. The map is lit by a 32-watt bulb inside a black hardwood frame and light box that only extends 3″ from a wall. The map is made by Rand McNally, renowned cartographers since 1856, and depicts a 1″:1,000 mile scale version of the US. Color-matching relief show topographical changes. The map comes with 60 light pegs (10 each in six colors), allowing for a variety of different location classifications, such as places traveled, desired vacations, and more. Includes a hole punching tool and two white pegs to patch mistakes. 6′ cord plugs into AC.

Well, this is definitely a visual reminder of letting you know just how many states you have left to visit, or visited - depending on what you want the lighted pegs to represent. $249.95 to show off to visitors on just how well-traveled you are.
