I use the real McCoy. None of those little squares taped together, then treated with chemicals so they don't run like a nose suffering bad allergies. |

Brian, I don't know what the real McCoy's are? When I plan a trip part of my process is mac-tac-ing the maps I need...is that the chemical part? |

The real McCoy is a large-dimension printed map ordered from your favorite store and done on an offset printer. Folks who print theirs off the internet print them on printers that have water-soluble inks so they must be sealed to prevent them from turning into tie-dye. All that work, all those little pieces of paper, and sometimes a limited vision of the landscape if you don't have enough of them. I've run into these folks, sometimes off the map and lost because they fell into the white fringe where their maps don't go.
