Doug,
This conversation is finished. I do not want to discuss fold up maps or map
books anymore. If you insist on continuing this conversation, I will be
forced to create a MACRO. Don't make me create a MACRO on you now. ; )

Doug,

As someone who started driving using fold up maps and has since converted
to Mapquest I find Mapquest far superior. It is on one page, versus a
fold up map where you have to refold the map to cover the area you want
to travel. You can change the scale and detail to fit your needs. You
can easily review your route before you leave, and it only requires
minimum review along the way. You don't have to worry about the fold up
map getting torn in the car, or being destroy by numerous folding and
unfolding, trying to fold the map correctly after your wife and daughters
had incorrectly folded the map numerous times. Or even trying to locate
the map after the wife and children have driven the car.

Now, if you EVER mention fold up maps again, you are either going down to
the basement or tied to the TV.

I personally would vote for the TV gag.

Aren't there map books of your city??? The one I have is rugged, and the
scale is perfect for driving around and quickly spotting where you are.

When I go out to the car, I'll get you the name of the company that makes
the nice map books. Maybe they make one for your town.

LMAO!
