scratch-off maps and posters

Scratch-off map map is a brilliant way how to show on a map places you have visited, places included in your wish-list or any other places – the only limit is your own imagination! Every scratch-off map is based on a precise political or administrative map, supplemented with flags or local coats of arms. Scratch-off maps and posters are packaged in a cardboard tube of special design and are perfect as a gift. Our experience and geographical knowledge make our scratch-off maps and posters adaptable for any language. We have produced scratch-off map “World” in several languages and scratch-off maps for Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway and Poland in their native languages.

map jigsaw puzzles

Puzzles that are both fun and educational – we believe it’s one of the best ways to learn geography through active playing. For children our Nature puzzle with wild animals is the most suitable. Very special are our round-shaped puzzles – each of them represents one of the hemispheres with its typical wild animals. Real “puzzle gourmands” enjoy our World map puzzle, based on a detailed political map of the world. The design of the puzzle also includes flags from all over the world. Find our puzzles here!

wall maps

Wall maps are always popular and required. Options for their usage are incredibly wide – from schools where they are used as educational visuals, to logistics companies which use postal code wall maps for accurate delivery. Administrative maps are useful for decision makers in local and state governments. Variety of sizes and materials is impressive – paper, plastic, plastic white-board or magnetic board. Paper maps might be laminated and framed with plastic or metal rails. A map can be printed also on canvas – not just informative but beautiful design element as well.

road maps, atlases and guide BOOKS

We are pretty sure that in almost every car in Latvia you will find some of our road map editions – it might be pocket size folded map or maybe a thick and very detailed atlas where every household in the countryside is displayed. For selective customers we offer laminated road maps that are extremely durable. Our bestseller in guide book category is the series “With a Map in Nature” – laminated and Wire-O bound maps that are convenient for use in rough conditions. Easy to overview and to see overall information – these are the best qualities for printed maps that allow them to compete with mobile map applications.

Our works/customer references

Great Atlas of Latvia

“The publication of the Great Atlas of Latvia was an important and long-awaited event in geographers’ circles and beyond. Such publications are not created often, therefore a new atlas has a special significance. “Jana seta” once again confirmed that cartography in our country is at a high level. The atlas is an excellent tool for planning trips around Latvia – it shows both hiking routes and river sections for paddling, as well as a large number of sightseeing objects. I also recommend the Great Atlas of Latvia to anyone who simply likes to look at beautiful maps and get to know their native land “on paper”.”

Zaiga Krišjāne, Professor, University of Latvia.

Puzzle “Finnish nature”

“The puzzle of Finnish nature was our Christmas bestseller in 2016. The puzzle for children shows map of Finland and is complemented with illustrations of dozens of species typical for Finnish nature, both animals and plants. I highly evaluate the good cooperation with Jana seta – they offered great idea for a new product and were ready to execute our order in good terms and high quality.”

Janne Kostamo, Director, Map, books and location data products of Karttakeskus OY, Finland.

Books “100 Years in 100 Maps” un “100 Maps Before the State of Latvia”

“Maps and atlases published by Jana seta form an important part of the map collection in the National Library of Latvia, and we also successfully cooperate in the research and popularization of older maps. Together we have published two books: “100 Years in 100 Maps” and “100 Maps Before the State of Latvia”. For the first time, many maps of Latvia published from the end of the 18th century to the present day can be seen in them. In 2021, Jana seta georeferenced more than 300 ancient maps sheets, and these maps will soon be available in the new Map Browser of the National Library of Latvia. We are confident of further successful cooperation!”

Reinis Vāvers, Head bibliographer, National Library of Latvia.
