I am looking for a world map viewed from the Pacific rather than the Atlantic:



that has just the land and the see and no waffle on it.

Sort of like this:



But MUCH MUCH bigger. (A5 size)

Does anyone know where the best place to source these things is???? I've rummaged on Google but can't find what I need.

Ta in advance.

What printed or an online picture? Most map shops should have one, virtually all Australian maps have the pacific at the centre from what I remember. I have one on my wall except it's orientated with South at the top (like these www.flourish.org/upsidedownmap), just to be different, plus it's a good way of looking at the world differently.

Here is an online map shop if your too lazy to get off the computer chair

Here's a couple of sites that I've found useful in the past.

www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/, from which i found this: www.eduplace.com/ss/maps/pdf/world_pacific.pdf

Also these guys, though not sure whether you're after a paper or electronic map... www.theodora.com/maps/new7/pacific_world_maps.html

Hope this helps.
