I loved to look at maps as a kid. My dad and I would always browse the atlas together at bedtime.

Love maps! I remember we had those like in the picture when I was a wee one.

I love maps! Even though we have a GPS, we still take an atlas with us on road trips!

It's so funny you mention reading actual maps, because on my business trip this week, the GPS in our rental car sent us to the wrong place twice in a row. And he GPS on my husband's cell phone is wrong on a regular basis. I still keep maps in my car. :-)

Thanks for all the great comments so far!

It's so wonderful to hear that there are many other map-lovers out there!

On our first date, my now husband showed me 2 of his books of maps!♥♥♥ That was nearly 4 years ago!

Best,
Mary
