I think my days of paper maps are gone forever, but if I had to use one, the Map2 would be my first choice. The map is divided into four sections that can be individually unfolded to reveal a more detailed view of that section of the city. So, it’s kind of like that origami game you played with the girls in grade school. What’s your favorite color? Blue? B-L-U-E. Pick a number. 4? Okay, we should eat at this Mexican joint off main street.

Just in case you were wondering, the map isn’t going to be super fragile. It’s made out of tear resistant paper and it is protected in a clear PVC wallet. Unfortunately, Map2 is only available for downtown London, but I’m sure additional cities will be added sometime down the line.
