Easymap
Maps made out of paper are easily damaged by excessive folding, which decreases legibility. Also, they are often very complicated to fold. Easymap helps solve these problems, because it's a city or road map printed on cloth. The textile material simplifies the handling while reading and folding, as well as extends the life span of the product.

In France, Michelin is selling alternative versions of their roadmaps in a kind of 'synthetic' paper that is tear resistant and multi foldable as well. Handy as well. I don't actually see myself wrinkle up a map in a ball, like the picture shows. :-)
