A Bag For OS Maps?

[arian]

Usually when we go away on holiday we don't know exactly where we're going, so we end up taking 20-odd OS maps. Still never have right one, mind . Anyhoo, we stuff these into the various pockets in the car and then have to search for the right map. Be nice to put them (or more) into a bag or box and sling that into the car. Easier to find the map you want, and lets me get OCD putting them in order . Anybody found anything that fits? Can't get Google to cough up, but it's probably not a bag designed for the job I want, just one that fits.

I have been using this plastic file folder to carry my OS maps in my truck for many years.

It has 12 in it at present but can expand to take about 20. As you can see it is just the right size.
I think it came from Staples but any good office supplies place or fleebay should be able to come up with one (or two) for a few quid.
It has proved to be very durable, the elastic to hold it closed has perished a bit but other wise it has taken a lot of abuse.

Great minds . That's a good solution. I use those folders to hold abrasives, so I should really have thought of it myself . I kept thinking of canvas-type bags with a flap top and the maps stood vertically. I think Zen & The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance calls my thinking a "gumption trap" .

Yeah, I did wonder about a printer and a supply of A4 .

Thanks for the suggestions.

How about a bergen side pocket?

Good idea. Thanks.

The side pockets seem to be 35x21x14cm (is that correct?); Landranger maps are 21.2x12.6x1.8 cm .
