The Marco Polo political map of the World features really easy to read cartography. Countries are marked out in different colours with capital cities and other major towns clearly indicated. The map also includes country flags and information, a time zone map, an overview of the World's languages, a distance chart and an extensive index.

A unique feature of the Marco Polo maps is "mark it" stickers, a set of seven reusable stickers (ie they don't damage the map when removed and placed elsewhere) that can be used to highlight interesting places, the route you plan to take (to make navigation easier), or whatever you want really.

The legend is in a multitude of languages including English.
