Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 17601 (topographical) and the 17001 (political) 27-inch globe? Both are 27-inch blue ocean inflatable globes in English. The 17601 features topographical (physical) mapping showing terrain, mountain ranges, and ocean depths, while the 17001 features political mapping showing country borders and capitals.

How do I inflate the globe? Due to its large 27-inch size, a balloon pump or electric air pump is strongly recommended for efficient inflation. The globe can also be inflated by mouth, though this will require considerably more effort than smaller models.

Is the globe durable enough for repeated classroom use? Yes — the Replogle 17601 is constructed from durable inflatable material designed for repeated inflation and regular use. As with all inflatable products, keep sharp objects away to prevent punctures.
