Crumpled City Maps

How often have you struggled to fold a paper map, especially in a confined space on a busy city street?  Designers in Italy have come up with a solution to this problem with the crumpled city maps.  These innovative maps are not printed on paper, instead using a lightweight, waterproof and tear resistant fabric, the map can just be crumpled back into its handy carry pouch when you have finished with it.  I particularly like the colourful junior maps, just right for encouraging young people to engage with maps, without having to constantly assist them with re-folding it.
