If you want to look fashionable and smart while standing lost as heck on a city street corner, the InsideOut series
from MapGroup International may be your best bet for stylish map gazing.
MapGroup upgraded their original PopOut map series in a sleeker, trendier line. The map and 64-page city guide is
enclosed in a sturdy vinyl steel-colored cover, and comes with a working compass and pen. The series includes maps for
12 US cities and 24 additional worldwide locations, including Hong Kong, Cape Town, Copenhagen, Prague, Toronto and
Dubai. Check out the titles section of their website (in the sidebar) for a complete list of titles and retail
locations where they can be purchased. (They retail for $11.95 at
Brookstone.)
While on the website, click on the SpeakOut link to see MapGroup’s latest series, a collection of four
pop-up language guides that focus on food. The guides include an illustrated menu decoder and
700-word food dictionary, so there is no fear of getting famished on the road. Pack one or two of these MapGroup guides
when you travel, and you’ll stay stylish and well fed all the way.
