Introducing Tony Rodono of the Map Shop in Charlotte North Carolina

Written By Buffy Farley

In my opinion, The Map Shop in Charlotte North Carolina is the very best map shop in the US. The new owner, Tony Rodono, has been very kind to our Nautical Chart Wallpaper business and has helped us in a variety of ways.  I highly recommend him to you, and Tony can be found at mapshop.com or by calling 800-532-6675. 

A few days ago, Tony sent his clients this fascinating article. I immediately contacted him for permission to reprint in my blog, which he graciously granted.

Please read it a couple of times and let his wisdom soak in. This is exactly why I started Nautical Chart Wallpaper 14 years ago.

  "Skipper" Steve Morris has been sailing for more than 45 years. Whenever Skipper's sailor friends used to talk about their sailing adventures, it was not unusual for them to grab a chart, unroll it to a certain island or waterway, and tell a story of what happened during a particular voyage. As Skipper realized that nautical charts are used for navigating stories as well as passageways, the idea of nautical chart murals came naturally. What better place to tell a tale of the sea than in one's own home or office than with a beautiful nautical chart mural as the visual aid!

   In 2013, he moved to the Coeur d'Alene area of Northern Idaho with his wife Linda. When Skipper is not working on murals, you can find him sailing his Erickson 27' on Lake Coeur d’Alene.

   He continues to design custom-made wallpaper from nautical charts, satellite photos, topographical maps and favorite photos.
