The Inside Out Maps are a great way to navigate your way around a city that you've been to before and somewhere completely new. The maps offer a great guide to the city's events and the fold out map feature is great. It folds so compactly and without hassle, and is in full color. You can easily open and close the map, and easily navigate around. It easily fits inside your pocket. The compass is a great feature too.
Great product, A+. But it Now!
