They moved me into a new office with blinding white walls & lights. I need maps, where online can I get em?

I'm looking for affordable ones, big sized. Any ideas?

You know those see-thru wall maps in war movies? Where the map is the wall, or at least a smooth room-divider? And the outlines on the map is usually green and the target is red, and the commander frowns and is usually filmed from the other side of the map.

What the hell are those things and what exactly is their functionality besides looking awesome?

easily changable situation map? They even have those in Star Wars/BSG

An ECSM? Maybe. You think people actually use those?

I want one of those used in the Battle of Britain where hot office chicks stand around a huge map pushing model Messerschmidts as some guy announces coordinates for interception.

this is what I want
