The reference to running around a map on "Carmen SanDiego" brings back a
movie memory. Has anyone else seen the Fred & Ginger movie "The Story of
Irene and Vernon Castle"? In it, there's a scene of them "dancing across
the country," literally, showing how as the Castles toured, their dance
style became a national craze. I don't know if it was a double exposure
or if they actually danced on a huge map on a studio floor, but it is
one of the more effective uses of maps as a movie device I've seen, and
possibly another example of a Very Large Map.

Hi-
    You are right, the ONC does skip some bits of ocean.  However, the JNC
series, scale 1:2,000,000 doesn't, and is a lot cheaper then the old
soviet 1:2,500,000 set.

At one time the Defense Mapping Agency made a wall-size version of their
Mercator world map that came in three or four panels.  The following are a
few things it shows:  time zones, shaded relief, rough ocean depths.  I
couldn't tell you if the map is still in production though.

Yesterday I came across a photo in the March GIS Europe of a world
map painted on a power station cooling tower in Zagreb. (Vol.6/3
p.7). (I wonder what the projection is called ?)
 
This is part of an exhibition entitled 'Cartographers - the
World in the eyes of contemporary artists. For more information see
their web page http://www.ccb.hr/ccb/cartographers. I have yet to
check this out myself.
