Maybe something like this
https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B013P0X02G/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1481567533&sr=8-3&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=cartography&dpPl=1&dpID=51A1vdzIDIL
Or even better :

I second the vote for Cartographies of time.
I might add a couple different options:
A book on Minard's hyper famous graph on Napoleon's invasion of Russia
https://www.amazon.com/Mapping-Time-Illustrated-Napoleons-Campaign/dp/158948312X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1481581204&sr=1-1&keywords=minard
"the measure of all things" on how the metre was established
https://www.amazon.com/Measure-All-Things-Seven-Year-Transformed/dp/0743216768
and "longitude" a must read for the aficionado
https://www.amazon.com/Longitude-Genius-Greatest-Scientific-Problem/dp/0802713122/
If you want to be more original, get her a sextant replica
https://www.amazon.com/Scott-London-Sextant-Hardwood-C-3082/dp/B00L290KHQ
or maybe go to etsy and grab a laser cut wood map of her state/country
https://www.etsy.com/listing/265691544/seattle-laser-engraved-wood-neighborhood?ref=market
map people, we're easy.
You get book stands to display such things, on a dresser or shelf or whatever. Pick a cool archipelago or some such, and watch the attention it gets. People (including yourself) will also want to flick through book all the time if you display it this way.
Something like this
Or you could make one yourself.
Don't cut them up :( You'll thank me in years to come.
Also worth reading if you're interested in more history of cable laying: [A Thread Across the Ocean] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0060524464).
No problem! I've never handled these maps, but they're among Amazon's top selling maps, and for $30 you get world and US, laminated. If you're ever in need of a 'nice' or gigantic map please reach out to us!
I have these two and like them.

https://www.amazon.ca/Floating-Rotating-Magnetic-Levitation-Platform/dp/B01M0GO582
No globe will be 100% accurate, half the fun is examining them to find their date of production and bias looking at how conflict zones are/were displayed like Sudan, Kashmir, Crimea, Palestine, etc.
terrific book, by the way
Map That Changed The World!
https://www.amazon.com/Washington-Atlas-Gazetteer-Delorme/dp/089933329X
Something like this maybe? These aren't very portable tho.
GB Eye World Map Poster on Amazon.com - I bought this. Font size is small so you may find you need a pocket magnifying glass as well.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013JR97Y/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_tai_zeDFDbWTBSKV6
I'd go for any map from National Geographic. I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0792283090/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1466813745&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=national+geographic+world+map&dpPl=1&dpID=61p5k71NQ-L&ref=plSrch
Highly recommended. Has enough information that you can see something new every time you look at it.
How much detail do you need? I find a Michelin title no. 970 ("Europe," 1:3 million) is plenty detailed for itinerary planning. I use a Thomas Cook or East View rail map for planning train trips. For driving, I find an atlas more convenient, covering most of Europe at the same scale. The German auto club ADAC published a nice one, but so do Collins or AA (1:900,000 with English legends) or Michelin, or Marco Polo.
Here you go, both these pages have images which you can zoom in on to get a sense of the detail.

Here's one. Search for "satellite view globe" and there seem to be a couple similar to that one.
*edit: just realized this is teeny, so maybe not what you wanted.

Meh?
Upside-down maps everywhere!
Hell, you can even get upside down map decals for your electronics. Get crazy with the Cheez Whiz.
