They are heavy and bulky, and the tendency is to carry a data book with lists of relevant services and shelters."
"The map that came with it we made copies of and referenced at almost every break stop to get an estimated visual on how much further we needed to walk to get to the next shelter area."
"Perfect compact book which provides valuable information on parking, water sources and shelter information along the AT."
"You may be able to get the same information open source on the web without purchasing."
"disappointed that, for the price, no map was included."
"Nice quality."
"The book is supposed to come with three detached maps and the paperback trail guide."

In the 1970’s, Brown traveled extensively throughout Africa, India, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Brown would take a large paper map, cut out the city center, folded it up and slip it into his pocket, thus preventing him from looking like a tourist in areas where discretion is the better part of travel. After many years on the road, Brown settled back in New York and decided to start his own business, based on the adaptations he had made to maps in his travels. Brown sold the maps during the day, zipping around Manhattan making deliveries on his Harley Davidson.

"I purchased this map for a replacement for the map I had dropped somewhere in Edinburgh."
"Nice for getting ourselves oriented in Charleston."
"Seattle is so gloomy and rainy."
"It is NOT a full size map."
"It even had our hotel on this map, which helped a lot as point of reference."
"At a minimum, I thought the Streetwise Edinburgh map would have an enlarged map of the Royal Mile and New Town, as these areas have the great majority of tourist sights."
