Map2 – The London Paper Map That has Zoom Function!

Ok – hands up all those with touchscreen phones that now get confused when attempting to navigate a regular mobile?

Well, I’m guessing it’s the same when looking at one of those old-fashioned paper maps.

You can see where you want to be but no matter how much you pinch at the paper it does not zoom!

Here’s The Map2, which is described as being a “zoomable map on paper,” is a high tech, low tech map that lets you zoom in to a more detailed view without going digital.

On the original scaled page each of the four quadrants can be unfolded to reveal a more detailed map of that area – essentially zooming in.

I think it’s a great idea.

If you’re visiting London get one – it’s only £8 and very groovy indeed!
