I have owned many maps in my lifetime! I still firmly believe there is still a place for them, yes technology is amazing and GPS is fantastic, but what if your technology corrupts, breaks or the battery dies? The National Geographic adventure series is the one I carry (depending where I am travelling).
AdventureMaps provide global travellers with the perfect combination of detail and perspective, highlighting hundreds of points of interest and the diverse and unique destinations within the country. Each map is printed on durable synthetic paper, making them waterproof and tear-resistant. They also include the locations of cities and towns with a user-friendly index, plus a clearly marked road network complete with distances and designations for major highways, main roads and tracks and trails for those seeking to explore more remote regions.
