How to travel with a paper map

The paper map is a handheld thing that we can spread on a table or on the ground and we can discuss our tour planning. Unlike the mobile application, traveling with a paper map is a convenient way to discuss the planning with our co-travelers easily. Using a paper map you can touch and move through the map to locate various places. This will make you happy because you are exploring a new place. You will find that Columbus is hidden in yourself! You will not get such a feeling while you use high-end technology. The map you used for a trip can be stored in a place as a souvenir. If you can’t buy anything from that place as a souvenir then your paper map can be used for it. Each time you open it you will find the best memories regarding it. They are designed on scales that give the user the bigger picture of the environment as opposed to specifics and are easier to understand due to the limited features shown on the maps at the time. 

Before we start going to our destination, you should fold the map to allow you to quickly look at it if you need to make adjustments. The easiest way to do that is to find a center point between your starting point and destination and then fold in all the foldable sections that are outside of this zone. Start with the narrow sections on the left and right and then fold down the larger sections on the top and bottom. If this section is still too large, fold the map in half so you can flip it over when you are halfway. You might also find that even that is too big if you’re on a very long try so just fold it so it is a reasonable size and unfold it as you make stops.
