I used to use paper maps all the time, but I’ve never seen this thing before. Pretty cool.
That looks a lot nicer than the big foldable pieces of s*** that we all had.
For anyone wondering what the heck this thing is, it’s called a roll chart. Usually these are loaded with turn-by-turn instructions for rally racing or similar, but as you can see you can also stick a map in one.
If you’re going to do the map thing it kind of helps for your overall route to be oriented vertically, or else otherwise you have to stick the map in it sideways.

no but i had a little book.
We had a very hefty book.
Mine came with the phone guide, but it was smaller. Maybe 1/4th as thick and half the size.
I had a stack of printed map quest directions. With impossible to read maps because of poor quality printer.
And if you missed one direction you were fucked.
What in the Ronco is that? I’m a state gazetteer kinda guy. Also used the county street atlas for local getting around.
I was certainly a mapbook pro, but, not with one of those.
Where’s my Falk crowd?
