A map comprising a concertina-folded sheet printed on both sides of the sheet, the markings on the two sides representing contiguous areas and being disposed so that a line on the map representing a route passing from one such area to the other extends around an edge of the sheet which lies at right angles to the concertina folds, the sheet having on an outer end flaps two key maps, inverted with respect to each other and corresponding respectively to the two sides of the sheet, to direct the user to the desired part of the map by means of indicia associated with the key maps which correspond to indicia provided upon the edge folds of the map. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What we claim is: 1.
A map comprising a concertina-folded sheet printed on both sides of the sheet, the markings on the two sides representing contiguous areas and being disposed so that a line on the map representing a route passing from one such area to the other extends around an edge of the sheet which lies at right angles to the concertina folds, the sheet having on an outer end flap two key maps, inverted with respect to each other and corresponding respectively to the two sides of the sheet, to direct the user to the desired part of the map by means of indicia associated with the key maps which correspond to indicia provided upon the edge folds of the map, and wherein the sheet is concertina-folded in such a way that successive panels, proceeding from the end flap having the key map thereon, are progressively wider, the said indicia being provided on the portions of the successive folds which are thereby rendered visible when the map is folded.
2.
A map as claimed in claim 1, wherein the said indicia are markings of different colours.
Description:
The present invention relates to maps, particularly folding maps.
When using conventional folding maps, location of the desired area of the map is often difficult, involving unfolding the entire map or a large part of it, finding the area required, and possibly refolding the map to reduce it to a manageable size once again.
This is a particular problem in confined spaces such as in a motor car.
The present invention thus aims to provide a folding map which is simple to use and facilitates quick location of the required area.
According to the present invention there is provided a map comprising a concertina-folded sheet printed on both sides of the sheet, the markings on the two sides representing contiguous areas and being disposed so that a line on the map representing a route passing from one such area to the other extends around an edge of the sheet which lies at right angles to the concertina folds, the sheet having on an outer end flap two key maps, inverted with respect to each other and corresponding resectively to the two sides of the sheet, to direct the user to the desired part of the map by means of indicia associated with the key maps which correspond to indicia provided upon the edge folds of the map
