Sabah & Kota Kinabalu Travel Map

This is a single page folded map of Sabah & Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. It’s the fourth edition of the series, published in February of 2005. The pre-folded size is a standard 10 x 4 map fold, but of course it could be folded even smaller if necessary.

A general problem with z-fold map products is that the site you need to find is inevitably on a fold somewhere, and the maps are constructed of lightweight paper and have a tendency to tear at the folds. This map is much the same as any other in that regard. The paper used to construct the map is no heavier than any other, but certainly no thinner than the standard for such maps, either.

The map is easy to read with clear delineations of roads, lodgings, restaurants and standard tourist attractions. While a travel map does not rate these locations in the same way that a travel guide will, you can rest assured that the sites included on the travel map have been visited by thousands of tourists before you and are quite reputable.

Modern travelers tend to gravitate toward GPS units and wireless mapping devices in lieu of old-fashioned paper maps. But in some areas of the work, that can be a mistake. Electronic items are targets for theft, while paper maps are not. Also, there are many areas where even satellite coverage is spotty. While a paper map may be slightly dated, old information is a vast improvement over no information at all.
