pocket map

Traveler's compact guide

A pocket map is a map designed to fold compactly enough to fit in a pocket.

These are typically printed on durable paper and accordion-folded or creased into sections for easy carrying and consultation while traveling: She pulled out a pocket map of the subway system.

The format favors portability over detail.
