虽然我们的地图始终秉持科学严谨的原则，但我们首先将它们视为艺术品。我们通常采用色彩丰富而又简约的风格，因此最初的地图集并未包含图例。不过，我们最新上传的地图集则同时包含标题和图例，以满足那些追求更经典风格的用户的需求。您可以在地图商店左侧的筛选器中找到它们。

是的，请在订购地图前通过产品页面上的“咨询框”给我们留言，我们会用您偏好的语言添加标题。订单提交后，我们将无法更改标题。

我们几乎总是使用开源软件制作地图，要么使用公开数据，要么生成我们自己的数据。

是的，我们选择在地图上印制细细的白边，这样可以留出操作空间，也方便装裱。这样一来，地图就不容易沾染指纹和油脂。专业的装裱师也更喜欢带白边的地图，因为这样他们可以把地图装裱到衬纸上（美国读者可能称之为“垫纸”），而不会遮挡住画面。我们认为，即使不装裱，白边地图看起来也更美观。

我们所有产品均为按需印刷。这意味着我们不持有任何库存，产品均为下单后生产。您的订单将直接发送给我们的印刷合作伙伴，由他们负责生产和发货。

由于我们是一家没有固定办公地点的小型家族企业，让合作伙伴负责整个供应链是我们销售我们心爱地图的唯一途径。这也使我们能够更专注于创作，并时不时地参与一些志愿活动。我们的合作伙伴在美国、澳大利亚、欧盟和英国都设有印刷厂，因此生产地点尽可能靠近您，从而降低了运输成本、缩短了等待时间，并减少了我们的碳排放。

是的，我们有，请发邮件至hello@grasshoppergeography.com

Even though the globes are based on our scientifically accurate maps, we were - as usual - aiming for a simple, clean, artistic look. This way we can also make sure that they will never get outdated, as it happens with other globes when a country, a mountain or river is renamed.

For handcrafted or hand-coated globes, the map, which is first divided into 12 segments, is glued on by hand by professional globemakers. The final coating is also applied by hand in many layers.

During machine production, a machine pulls a special foil with the map printed on it into a hemisphere shape. The vacuum-forming technique causes the map image to lose its brilliance and detail.

The hand-coated maps, on the other hand, captivate with brilliant colors and a highly refined resolution, just like HD television.

All our globes are equipped with an LED light bulb and can therefore be illuminated. A simple flip switch is used to turn the light on in the globe.

Here is a simple step-by-step guide on how to change the bulb in your COLUMBUS globe.

Step 1: Turn off and unplug the globe from the power outlet.

Step 2: Remove the globe sphere. To do this, lift the meridian at the north pole, push it slightly to the side and carefully (to avoid scratches) move the globe upwards and sideways with your free hand until the globe can be completely removed from the frame. Note: Due to the bulb socket in the globe, the globe cannot simply be moved sideways.

Step 3: Now the light bulb is exposed and can be unscrewed by hand. Change it to a fitting bulb of maximum 40 watts. We suggest you use modern LED bulbs, as they consume much less energy and are more sustainable than traditional light bulbs.

Step 4: To move the globe back to its original position, move the globe sideways over the light bulb as you did when removing it. Keep the meridian away from the surface of the globe so that no scratches occur.

Watch this video from the manufacturer to see how it is done.

Any light as long as it fits into the world globe socket should work fine. However, some of the higher wattage incandescent bulbs may run too hot for the acrylic sphere. We suggest you use modern LED bulbs in your globe, as they consume much less energy and are more sustainable than traditional light bulbs. If you have a question about a particular wattage and model, contact us here.

Columbus' main focus in the search for materials is not only on quality and high value, but of course on bringing the desired robustness. Therefore, our acrylic glass spheres are relatively robust and durable.
However, we do not provide any guarantee in the event of an unfortunate fall from a certain height. In case of damage, please contact us. We will gladly organize a replacement globe to sent you for a fee, so you do not have to purchase a new model.

Absolutely. Our partner, Columbus Globes have many different sizes available up to two meters in diameter.

Floor globes are available with a diameter of 51 cm, 60 cm, 77 cm, 100 cm and 200 cm.

Depending on the use or space, they also offer different feet and mountings (desktop or fork leg). Stainless steel or brass, wood either varnished, brushed, or charred; the range of choice guarantees you an individual adaptation to the purpose and interior.

Contact us for more information and a special quote.

Yes, you can order a globe sphere made out of mouth-blown crystal glass, created by passionate glassblowers in Germany. This traditional technique gives your globe a special value and feel, as Columbus remains the only company that still produces glass world globes this way.

No, and please don't try to do this, pins would damage the surface of the globe permanently that your warranty does not cover.

All orders are shipped without any packing slips, you will get all necessary documents via email.

Unfortunately you cannot do that at the moment. You need to place separate orders for different delivery addresses.

We have several printing locations worldwide and can fulfil most orders in the US, UK, EU and Australia. However, there may be some print types or sizes that are unavailable in your region. See the table below for more details.

International shipments may be subject to taxes or other import duties upon arriving at the destination country. The customer is responsible for any customs charges that may be applied to the shipment. Customs determines these charges and we have no control over them, nor we have any way of knowing what these charges may be.

Grasshopper Geography is not responsible for any actions taken by customs or the chosen package delivery service.

If you haven't received an order confirmation email, it is likely the result of one or two things:
• Your order was never actually placed and processed.
• You have entered an incorrect email address with your order.

If you are certain that the email address linked to your order is correct, please check the spam folder in your mailing client for your order confirmation. In the event that you still cannot locate an order confirmation, please email us so we can get to the bottom of this issue.

If you need any assistance with your order, please contact us immediately at hello@grasshoppergeography.com. We will not be able to make changes to your order after it has shipped.

We have partnerships with professional print shops around the world, so we don't have any limitations. We would be able to produce and ship a large amount of prints within just a few days.

Not yet, but we will very soon. If you are interested, do reach out at hello@grasshoppergeography.com.

We offer free tracked shipping on almost all of our wall art, except for some of our older products, which we are gradually phasing out over the next few months. Please see the shipping information on individual product pages.

It takes 1-8 days to process and print your order depending on print type. After that it generally takes a further 1-10 business days to receive your order after it has been shipped. For more detailed information check our Shipping Policy.

Our globes are made in collaboration with Columbus Globus, and shipped directly from their workshop in Germany. Orders are generally shipped within 1-3 working days. We always keep a few globes in stock and ready to be shipped, but in periods of high demand we might need to manufacture a new one for you. As these are premium quality, handmade items, this process generally takes around 2-4 days.

For more details see our Shipping Policy.

All our products are robustly packaged. Our unframed prints are hand rolled in protective tissue paper and then shipped in extra thick cardboard tubes. Acrylic and framed prints, as well as stretched canvas prints come in a rigid double-walled cardboard box.

The packaging standards have been refined many times, over many years and it is now extremely rare for breakages or damage to occur. On those rare occasions when incidents do happen we strive to ensure that a replacement is organised immediately and shipped back out on a priority service without any fuss.

We'll keep you updated and send you an email as soon as your package ships, along with your tracking number where you can monitor its journey.

Please note that we extend the option for untracked shipping as well. If you prefer to have your order tracked, remember to choose a tracked shipping method, like Express shipping.

All globes are sent with tracked shipping.

There can always be unexpected delays with shipments, especially in the holiday season. If you still haven't received your order after more than 21 days, check the tracking number you have received for your order, that will show the status and location of your order.

We ask for a photo of the damaged goods, and we'll then gladly send a free replacement.

We do not accept returns, but if you received the wrong item or if it arrives faulty or damaged, we will replace it.

Thanks to different dialects and language use, these definitions can be really tricky. Read our glossary to find help in talking about your maps in a more accurate, scientific way.

Grasshopper comes from Robert's childhood nickname, 'Szöcske', meaning 'grasshopper' in Hungarian.

Robert has a Master's in Geography and GIS (Geographic Information System(s)) indeed, but he started drawing maps for fun in elementary school.

We are a small family business without permanent headquarters, using a print on demand solution to sell our maps. This means we do not have any physical shops you can visit, but we are happy to hear from you. If you wanted to visit just to get to know us better, we suggest you subscribe to our newsletter or read our blog.

The word "Giclée" is French for "sprayed ink." Today, the term is used to describe a sophisticated inkjet printmaking process which creates the highest quality fine art reproductions. All our prints are manufactured in this way. Giclée printing offers extra-fine image resolution, helping retain a higher degree of detail from the original images.

A lot of research and development has gone into the various aspects and materials that make up a Giclée print. Current scientific lab reports suggested that our papers and Giclée printing process will produce a print that lasts between 100-200 years in optimal conditions. Please note any print located in direct sunlight is still likely to fade over time.

The meridian is the semi-circular or circular frame holding the world globe.

The world globes sit a 23.5 angle to mimic Earth's own tilt on its axis.

This is so nice to hear, thank you!
