Also, as a total aside, this: "over their conventionally folded*" should be punishable by death. Putting an asterisk next to something then not explaining it is pure evil.

Interesting, Y2K must have hit pretty bad for them.
If you've ever had your map fall to pieces in the snow, you'll learn to appreciate tyvek maps.
Even worse is trying to fold back the papers inside medication boxes. They never fold back to the state they were in.
That's what the back seat is for. Younger people probably don't know that.
However, the advent of smartphones has made that sort of thing less useful. And for serious wilderness navigation this kind of map folding is very unhelpful since maps tend to be big and it helps to keep the map partially folded so you can focus on one area.
