Is this picture a joke for the product? Looks an awful lot like Bloodsworn Vale's map.

It's definitely Bloodsworn Vale, though it's an early version that I sent them before I added more detail to the swamp; I would assume they substituted this art while waiting for the actual flip-mat art. It's probably the closest thing they had to a mountain pass at the time.
Bloodsworn Vale's region map was designed to be approximately 4.5" x 6.5". It would look really atrocious blown up to the size of a flip-mat. :)
I look forward to seeing the actual product; the flip-mats are outstanding! I've been using the original for a year or so, and recently picked up another one to have more variety--they hold up very well.
It's a mock-up. :-)

I don't own any of these maps yet but I do have a suggestion. One side of the map should just contain a terrain scene with no specifics added. I want a plain forest, snow tundra, desert, mountain pass, etc... Some of these sound as though this is the case but others still contain specific details that limit its use and this is the one thing that will prevent me from buying the product. I can always add specifics to the maps myself like towers as someone else has already pointed out, but I can't remove them! One side with specifics and the other with blank terrain would be perfect!!!

Do the two sides connect? If you bought two of these and flipped one over could they be placed side by side without any apparent joins? It looks like it's designed to do this but the sample images shown don't seem to align.
They don't line up that way (would have been a good idea, though...)

Vic,
Please let the rest of the folks at Paizo know that I'd really be interested in a series of 10 or 12 (maybe more) Dungeon Geomorph flip mats. Flip mats that would fit together no matter which way I turned them that could be put together to make random dungeons.
That sounds more like a Map Pack, but it would be great to have a Dungeon map pack where all the rooms could interconnect, and it would be even better if there were hallways to connect them to some of the older Map Packs that didn't.
That's a great idea.
Glad you think so, Erik!

I know it sounds like a Map Pack, but I want them like the Flip Mats so that I can mark on them with dry or wet erase markers. And, I also want them bigger than the Map Packs that I've got or have seen at my FLGS. I want them the same size as the Flip Mats and made to the same quality (for use with wet/dry erase markers) and I want them to be true geomorphs so that they can be turned any number of ways and still fit together.

I've been corrected—they do line up. One of the images above is rotated the wrong way, and at least one of them is either cropped or extended so that if you grabbed them and rotated them yourself (like I did), they don't appear to line up. We'll have to get those preview images fixed.

I believe the new map pack format has the same wet/dry erase marker capabilities as the flip mats.

They do, starting with the Shops pack. I'd like to see the above in map pack form too (which could also then be used in conjunction with blank or dungeony flip maps as alternate rooms).
To be a little on topic, the mountain pass is a decent flip mat--came in very handy for a mountain ambush kind of fight I ran a few months' back. Easy to add difficult terrain to, etc.
I agree. It is particularly useful for Giantslayer AFAICT and I was bummed when I saw "out of print."
Sigh...
