Anyone use the Caravan Map?

Could we get a sharper .pdf of the map we use for Caravan?

I am using it on my interactive whiteboard and it is really not very clear? I could retrace it on a big sheet of paper with an ....hush my mouth....opaque projector? But this year I made four quadrants of the map (so they could see it in more detail and larger) and they moved an icon representing their group around the Smartboard --- it was cool!

But... I would love a sharper image :)

thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Eve,

I will take a look at this and discuss it with our art department.

Thank you Bill! I would love to enlarge it and put it on my wall with little velcro dots so a game piece of the students design could move around the board. I appreciate any help you can give me!

Mr Williams --- just checking on that sharper image for my giant gameboard / map? Thank you for anything you can do.

Hi, Ms. Van Kley--

Thank you for your question. Do you have the electronic version of the map or the print version?

Thank you. While we can't offer a different PDF, there's a number of options to achieve a sharper image.

You might want to try zooming in on a particular area of the map to view it more clearly. After selecting the area you'd like to zoom in on, hold down the Control and + keys if you're on a PC or Command and + if you're on a Mac.

We also offer a print version of the map. If you'd like a larger print version, you can bring the PDF file to a service bureau such as Kinko's.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Thank you Julianne - it is such a neat unit -- but with 5 sections of Geography --- I need a big map! I actually made a Smartboard slide and tokens to move around the board --- but it was just too hard to see.

Thank you, again - I will try the zooming and printing.
