Globetrotter: Map World
A love for adventure and exploration fuels Aotearoa’s only independent map store.
Follow your curiosity down Colombo Street and find something unexpected. Inside MapWorld, you are instantly transported: floor to ceiling maps, globes in every size, and the quiet thrill of discovering somewhere new. It feels less like a shop and more like the beginning of an adventure.
Whether you are planning your next trip, searching for a meaningful gift, or looking for a statement piece for your home or office, this is your place to start the journey. Owner
Steve Haase runs MapWorld, Aotearoa’s only independent map store, with discovery at its heart. “People come with a destination in mind. They want a physical connection to where they’ve been or where they’re going. Nothing compares to holding a map and seeing the true scale of a place,” he says. You might leave with a map of somewhere that matters, a striking piece of wall art, or a beautifully crafted globe that becomes a conversation starter.
“We see everyone come through the door, from grandparents with grandkids, to homeowners, backpackers, flashpackers, trampers, hunters, and adventure racers. Some are planning their next trip, others reliving one. Travel or topographic maps, compasses, Garmin GPS, rescue beacons, travel books and globes. We have the world covered.”
Run your fingers across a globe or trace your journey on a map. Your next adventure starts at 1027 Colombo Street. Call 03 374 5399.
