I guess somebody's got to come up with a new and innovative way to draw people away from just using mapquest or googlemaps. I found a great post on Peterman's Eye that talks about the use of paper maps in a technological world. Great read. SO I will share... http://www.petermanseye.com/passions/travel/323-on-the-map Cheers! I don’t really see the effectiveness of this map, but I can understand why they’re attempting to market them.

I could just as easily put all 3 maps together on one map without the annoying tilt - it would be cheaper and lighter too. The neighbourhood and subway map has so little information anyways that it wouldn't make the map congested with information. Why not use an aerial map instead as an option? It often helps understanding the area a little better, but that often has too much information to blend with everything else. I don’t get it.
