I've been using the Fish-n-Maps for years. Even with all the electronic gadgets, which I dearly love and make use of, I just feel better putting a map down to see where I am, and where I'm going. Even though they're supposed to have a weather resistant coating, I wore a couple of them out before I got smart. I have one virgin map that always stays in a drybox. I scan the area I intend to fish, and print out one or two copies of that. On one of the maps, I'll usually write down the coordinates of where I want to go, and maybe even plot a coarse. I put it on a clipboard and take notes on the map as to fish caught and/or conditions. If it's of interest, I'll scan it again when I get home, and put it in a folder I have on my computer for maps and coordinates. It's kind of fun to go over those old maps when I'm planning my next fishing trip too. This is pretty much what the printouts look like. If they get wet, or smeared or bloody, so what? Just break out the spare, and use it.
