Map on your dining table?

Agreed, you can also use dry erase markers and the map can be updated yearly.

I kind of like the idea since I really like maps. I use a piece of thin cardboard on our table because all the grandkids like to draw on it. I have to replace it each trip. I get free cardboard pieces every time we go to Costco. The separators between the TP, Paper Towels, etc. are ideal.

Take your table top to any decent glass shop and they can cut an exact shape and bevel the edges. If you can't remove the table top, just make an exact pattern with newspaper or craft paper. Most places do it at a really resonable price. We do it for all our nightstands and coffee tables.

I had a camper with a dining table map. I think it came from a factory that way. Don't know where to buy one. It was laminated into the top, so plastic covering the 1974 Map of the United States. The camper was a 67 or so, probably not from the camper manufacture.

Funny how many interstates that are now here where just proposed lines, or state routes connecting between larger cities! back in 74.

I think it's a good idea but, it's not for everyone. :)

Put it on the table and cover with a piece of glass. That would allow you to write and erase with a grease pencil.

Our dining room table has N scale model train layout under the glass. (work in progress)
