  Folding maps were the USB-A of it’s age. We would always fold it wrong the first time.

      You don’t just roll your technical documents? The plotter makes it pre rolled and so I just let it do that

    Just the first time? I still have a bunch of my paper maps and I don’t think a single one is folded according to the original design. Turns into origami.

    Fold it the wrong way and it’d eventually start to split

  On land, same. When I needed a map on a boat I had a chart table.
