The Art of Wayfinding: Why Beautiful Printed Maps Still Matter

Long before GPS satellites and smartphones, explorers relied on maps—works of art crafted by talented scribes—to navigate land and sea.

Maps weren’t just tools. They were a fusion of art and strategy, guiding people across unfamiliar places and recording the known world.

And even today, in a digital-first world, beautiful, printed maps still play an important role in creating unforgettable journeys and helping people connect with places—and with brands.

Why Printed Maps Are More Important Than Ever

Sure, apps are great... until the battery dies or the signal drops.
A well-designed, pocket-sized map is always ready to guide someone to their next discovery.

Here’s why printed maps still matter:

✅ Always accessible — No dead zones, battery issues, or tech frustration.
✅ Engaging and tangible — A pocket-sized map invites people to explore at their own pace.
✅ Builds emotional connections — People remember where they found a beautiful map—and who gave it to them.
✅ Smart marketing tool — A custom map can double as a branded keepsake that visitors, guests, and customers actually keep.

Printed maps offer a sense of adventure and authenticity that digital tools just can’t replicate.
