Everyone uses maps in their daily life, going from point A to point B. In the digital world most of us use mapquest or our phones to get us where we need to go, latest incarnation is asking Apple's personal assistant Siri to just dictate the directions to you. As nice as it is to have the directions force fed to you, their are not all that visually attractive. Maps in paper form allow for visual and textual experience. Today most people take an attractive oversized map and frame it accordingly. You can find all sorts of maps; vintage, modern updates, local, and abstract. Paper Source always has a wonderful selection to choose from. One of my favorite places in Chicago, Foursided, focus on large frames, and maps often show up in their store. I also love when They are used as table runners during a party, folded like origami, or used as gift wrap.
