Spontaneous Combustion Maps
These are maps that go up in flames when the user least
expects it.
The purpose is to make people that have never known a
world without GPS who attempt to use a paper map, this
will make them stop and think to themselves "this is why
they got rid of these things
and made GPS"
I think these could be made with flash paper and tiny
capacitor type spark trigger.

I'm not sure about that. I just found out that the
GPS I have was recalled because they are worried it's
going to go up in flames: so no improvement really. |

A good paper map is far more dependable than
GPS.
When the batteries fail or your GPS dies - leaving
you
lost in the middle of nowhere as the rain comes
down
and night draws in - a single Ordnance Survey 1:13
Hiker's Map can form a makeshift shelter for two
people. |
