Abstract

In a map with a pattern of folding lines along which the map can be folded, it is easy to find geographical regions shown on the map due to two portions connected via a common center area and each having a plurality of folding lines in equidistant portions in a direction parallel to two parallel limiting lines, the map being folded on successive lines alternatingly in opposite directions so as to form a plurality of flaps.
