<\/a>Pinch to zoom? Nah. Try unfold to zoom. The Map2, a “zoomable map on paper,” is a clever invention that packs more detailed maps underneath its folds.<\/p>\n

With GPS and map software ubiquitous on every smartphone, it’s a sad reality that paper maps have fallen by the wayside. With location-based searching, powerful zoom capaibilities, and a GPS chip tracking your every move, it’s hard to deny the advantages of digital maps.<\/p>\n

But there’s still something satisfying about squinting your eyes, pointing your index finger, and finding your route on a good old paper map. Enter Map2, a high tech, low tech map that lets you zoom in to a more detailed view without going digital.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From the original fold, each of the four quadrants can be unfolded to reveal a more detailed map of that area; the Map2 is essentially five maps in one.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a compromise between the comforting exactitude of digital maps and the old-fashioned thrill of not knowing exactly<\/i> where you’re going, the Map2 might be just the ticket. The $13 map is currently only available for the City of London, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see this solution roll out for other cities in the near future. [Wired<\/a>]<\/p>\n
