#map²

Two weeks ago in London, we had a free day to explore the city on our own without our leaders and didn't have much cell phone reception overseas, so we had to use several paper maps we had. My favorite was a huge and beautiful Olympic map of London that I brought home with me, but unfortunately it was hard to find all the info we needed at the time...

I would have loved to have had one of these zoomable maps! The Olympic map was so large that it was rather cumbersome to use and a burden to fold back up. This zoomable map series by Anne Stauche is a beautiful idea, allowing you to pick which area you'd like to zoom into without having to unfold the entire map. 

I'm all for beautiful paper maps with great design. They've launched a Kickstarter to produce more cities with a video that shows how you'd use it. Would you support it if your city was included? Put in a request for it to be added to the list! Hopefully we'll see Austin on there soon. 

Wouldn't this be a great resource when going on an "unplugged" vacation? Traveling old-school style.
