Map holders

Mapbooks allow you to conveniently carry maps, GPS and navigation devices. Thanks to them you will protect them from dirt, getting wet or other external factors. If you are a person who loves hiking in the woods or other inaccessible areas, you should consider having a map case. Even state-of-the-art cell phones often suffer from various malfunctions, lose their GPS signal or, most simply, run out of battery. Partly the latter problem can be solved by buying a good Powerbank, but it too has a limited capacity. If you get lost in dense bushes, having a map with you can even save your life, and certainly shorten the time to reach your destination. A paper map, well sheltered from adverse weather conditions, is virtually a trouble-free piece of our equipment. Wherever we go, we should carry with us an accurate and detailed plan of the surrounding areas. The inclusion of a map in our equipment will help us enjoy the beauties of nature without worrying about the correct direction of march. A military mapbook equipped with a good and accurate map will also come in handy during a trip to the mountains. It will help you get to safe places and point in the right direction when the weather suddenly deteriorates, which is not difficult in the mountains.

It is also a good idea to take the mapbook with you to heavily urbanized areas. If you are visiting a city you are not familiar with, it will help you avoid getting lost in the clutter of streets and alleys. Tourists often experience a lack of cell phone coverage in remote Asian countries, and you can always rely on a map. Sometimes the GPS signal gets lost when there are a lot of other tourists around, such as in the summer in Rome or other popular European cities that are teeming with tourist attractions. In such situations, a mapbook equipped with a good city plan will make navigation easier and allow you to enjoy exploring the sights. A good mapbook will also protect your documents if you choose to put them in it. This is especially important if you are doing extreme sports or going to extremely humid areas of the world. While canoeing or in the rainy season on the savannah, our electronic devices and banknotes and documents can easily get flooded, while sealed in a tight package they will remain whole and safe. A military mapbook also comes in handy during active paintball or ASG (Air Soft Gun) games, especially if we play the role of a scout or if we are simply the organizer of the event and it is up to us to check the entire area, including for safety. Many models have the ability to be hung around the neck thanks to a special lanyard. This makes it easier and faster to access, so it's also faster than using the GPS on our phone.

Interesting and reasonably priced mapmakers are produced by a Polish company specializing in hiking accessories, the Fjord Nansen brand. Classic models are available on our site, equipped with a large, transparent space through which we can easily read our location. If our outdoor activities require slightly more durable equipment, we recommend Direct Action military mapbooks, made of much more durable materials. They attach to the user's shoulder, have extremely strong stitching and are resistant to tearing and adverse conditions. In addition, each Direct Action military mapper has extra space inside for accessories such as a notebook or pen. Militaria.pl also offers map protection accessories from another Polish manufacturer, Wisport, a company known for producing exceptionally durable backpacks. Their products are made of genuine American Cordura, a strong, cut- and abrasion-resistant waterproof material that performs much better than nylon or polyester. They are equipped with a film that can withstand temperatures of -40 to 50 degrees Celsius, so they will work well both during an expedition to the frigid polar regions and exploration of desert areas. The mapbooks are especially recommended for scouts, anglers, border guards, search and rescue personnel and all lovers of the wide-ranging tourism. It is also a great gift idea for a loved one who enjoys traveling.
