Hello,

I printed these for chalet guests and everyone said what a great idea (although they may only being polite) but they took one and suggested I sold them. I've printed a few and put them on eBay but I would really like some feedback on the idea.

Here's the link the item https://fromcompanydirectortoskibum.wordpress.com/2016/03/13/an-idea-that-simply-makes-sense/

This is not a sales pitch but more an information gathering and testing the market exercise.

I really appreciate helpful feedback.

I'd rather accidentally drop my map than my phone…

On another note, when I was in the french alps they had these rip proof maps that were made of like plastic paper… but were a total bitch to figure out how to fold back together once opened.

A lot of road maps can be like that (like the Michelin maps and what-not) and they make you want to rip them up.

On another note, this is a good idea - granted they are already out there. Even a lot of the openstreetmap websites have hiking/skiing trail options where users contribute free to it.

I'm not knocking your idea. Just make sure you look into those some more.
