A washable, wearable, fully personalizable all weather map or neck warmer (Toob); a better map for the outdoors. Made from a special selection of fabrics, our maps are versatile, durable and lightweight, designed to take and survive the punishment that the outdoors can throw at a map: mud, wind, snow and rain.
A SplashMap is a washable, wearable and all weather map. Hang on. We’ve already said that. Yes, you can wash a SplashMap and we don’t mean a delicate hand wash either, simply chuck it in your washing machine on a warm wash, following the symbols on the map’s side tab of course, and it’ll come out pristine and ready for the next time you take it outside.
Yes you can! We have had a lot of success with Crayola washable markers, though other brands are available. We would always recommend that you test the marker for removal beforehand as we cannot guarantee your beautiful product against every washable pen!
It’s simple, just head over to the SplashMaps store. There you can browse through the full range of destination maps that we stock. If that’s not quick enough, take a look at our list of stockists where you can go and buy a SplashMap right now, assuming the shops are open that is.
We have dozens of destination maps that we hold in stock, based around Great Britain’s National Parks and other places that are great for getting outdoors and into. We also hold city maps, long distance trail, central European destinations and Atlas scale maps.
We can do just that, just go to our personalised map maker and choose where you want on the planet. Give it a title and we’ll handle the rest for you.
No problem! Our plans for total tangible world map domination are in full swing and you can now make maps of anywhere in the world thanks to OpenStreetMap and the likes of Harper Collins. Check out our news section for the latest updates from the SplashMaps team.
Absolutely, bulk discounts are available through the site. More than 40 units? Check our Trade pages for your options. You can drop us an email to info@splashmaps.net and let’s talk.
No problem. Don’t want someone sneaking a peak of your new delivery? Or want it to arrive at a friends place or holiday destination? At check-out you’ll be asked if you want it delivered to the address you gave under billing details. Simply tick the box and and give an alternative delivery address.
We want you to get your hands on your SplashMap and get outdoors as soon as you can.
*SPECIAL CHRISTMAS service means you can order as late as midday 12th December & it will be mailed 1st class on 18th December (last day of 1st class mail for Christmas). Back orders and personalised maps ordered after that date will dispatch from 16th January.
AUGUST SHUT DOWN – machines need a rest too sometimes. Ours take a break for the whole of August which will mean orders placed toward after 17th July or during August will be delivered in September.
We dispatch the entire order together, so if you have a Make-A-Map in your order, we will wait until that is available to dispatch your entire order.
If you really need that map critically or urgently super fast, let us know when you place the order or drop us a mail and we’ll do our very best to make you happy.
The SplashMaps team wants you to love your SplashMap and be perfectly happy with it. If your SplashMap has arrived at its new home and it’s damaged, it’s in poor condition or it wasn’t what you ordered, please send us an email at info@splashmaps.net as soon as you can, telling us what’s happened. Remember to state your order number in the email and put urgent in the subject line so we can spot it easily. We’ll do our very best to get back to you as soon as we can.
These things happen. Normally the payment fails because the billing details don’t match the information your bank has. Please don’t put your work address in the billing details if your using your personal card (unless you live at work like us!). Your billing address must be the same as that registered to your card. Still won’t work? Try the PayPal option. This will give you the choice of paying via Credit Card or via a PayPal account. Still no luck? Sometimes it’s the bank or our service that has not recognised a post code or zip. So contact us on info@splashmaps.net. There’s always another way to pay.
We want you to be happy with your SplashMaps order, but in the unlikely event that you do want to return any item you’ve ordered from us, we will give a full refund, excluding postage and packing, providing that the items are returned to us unused and in a fully re-saleable condition within 28 days of the date that we dispatched to you. Sadly, this only covers our destination maps, any personalised maps are not returnable unless they’re faulty.
Simply repack your item and pop it in the post to us at
SplashMaps Ltd,
25 Ashdown Close,
Chandlers Ford,
Hampshire,
SO53 5QF,
United Kingdom.
It’s a good idea to send your returned item using the Royal Mail’s signed for service as proof of posting or whatever equivalent service is available to you if you’re outside of the United Kingdom. If an item is faulty, damaged or doesn’t match the description of what you ordered we will refund the postage and packing as well.
We’re afraid that we can’t offer any refunds on items that are simply unwanted or damaged by you. We can also only refund faulty items within 10 days of the date that we dispatched them to you.
If you’ve any other questions, feel free to drop an email to info@splashmaps.net and we’ll do our very best to reply as soon as we can.
The data that helps us make SplashMaps comes from a number of sources. In Great Britian the Ordnance Survey’s famous Explorer and Landranger series are our main sources. We use data from OpenStreetMap (https://www.openstreetmap.org/) to make our special cartographic map style world-wide. In the USA we use the official USGS map data.
The Ordnance Survey, often referred to as The OS, is Great Britain’s national mapping agency, which traces its heritage back to the mid 1700’s. Our maps aren’t that old and use the latest digital OS OpenData map data. OpenStreetMap is a totally open and free digital map that’s produced in a way similar to Wikipedia. After starting in 2004, OSM now maps almost every country in the world.
No we really mean Great Britain, which in turn means England, Wales and Scotland are the only countries you can get the Ordnance Survey 1:25k walking style map. The United Kingdom is Great Britain and Northern Ireland and for now we’re focusing on Great Britain, but see also FAQ number 7.
Sorry to hear that. We use UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) to express coordinates on the maps as they allow a uniform kilometer grid for anywhere in the world. This allows many of our customer to make simple distance calculations that relate to their zone under this system. Our system is accurate and you can convert to degrees and minutes simply using a service like this one.
Our weatherproof maps are made from a super special lightweight, breathable, durable and washable polyester. The Toobs (those with toggles and others) are from a dense stretchy polyester specially selected to hold an amazing map image. Our scarves are on satin – a lighter polyester with a softer touch and greater shear – it’s very showy! Tablecloths and other special products are made from SplashTex. Look out for this. It’s Europes only fabric 100% recycled polyester made from post consumer plastic bottles!
Your SplashMap is a highly desirable piece of tangible cartography. It’s very likely that people will covet your SplashMap. You might want to consider putting it in a safe overnight or fixing it to your desk with a Kensington lock. Either way, if you see someone eyeing your SplashMap just point them at our website so that they can get their own map.
You might want to try turning it over.
Your SplashMap is a very special map, but in cases of website crashes, expired felines or sudden precipitation it’s probably an unfortunate coincidence.
Get in touch with us at info@splashmaps.net, tell us what you need to know and we’ll let you know the answer.
