When it comes to choosing the right map for your adventures or display needs, MyTopo offers two distinct options: waterproof maps and laminated maps. Each type has its unique features and benefits, making them suitable for different purposes. Here are the key differences between these two types of maps:
Waterproof Maps
- Material: Printed on tear-resistant, waterproof synthetic paper.
- Appearance: Feels and looks like regular paper; you wouldn't know it's waterproof unless informed.
- Usage: Ideal for outdoor activities and backpacking due to their durability and ability to withstand water exposure.
- Portability: Can be easily folded and packed in a backpack.
Laminated Maps
- Material: Printed on regular paper and then laminated with plastic sheets.
- Appearance: The final product is thicker and cannot be folded.
- Usage: Best suited for display purposes, such as hanging on walls.
- Additional Features: Can be used with dry erase markers or grease pens for temporary markings.
- Portability: Shipped rolled due to their thickness, making them less convenient for carrying in a backpack.
