World Map Stickers

This is a very trivial problem compared to all the others that have to be confronted in planning a RTW trip, but does anyone know sources for stickers portraying a map of the world? I've frequently seen pictures of such stickers on the panniers of international motorcycle travelers, with their route drawn on the map. The map is fairly large and covers most of the side of a pannier.

Thus far I haven't been able to find a source for such stickers or decals. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

We went to a place that printed signs onto vinyl etc for sides of vans and trucks - they had no problem finding a map in their files and printing it.

Note that we have available for sale flag stickers for the countries that are traditionally hard to find flag stickers for - like Malawi. We don't have UK, USA etc stickers.

Printing shops that have good computor gear can make just about any sticker that you can come up with. Most will scan your design or have things on file that you can choose from....the internet makes the choice almost too big! Just check that they use an ink that is waterproof and UV....well not UV proof...not sure there is such a thing really....but will last a long time in the sun.
We are really happy with the custom stickers and the custom vinyl lettering we have had made at various places.
