Nothing screams “tourist” more than a crinkly, paper map. Yet, if you’re not in your GPS-enabled rental car, you need some point of reference to help you navigate strange cities. Enter the genius accessory that is the Rand McNally FabMap ($5.95), a microfiber cloth map of the city you can stuff in your pocket, mop your brow or clean your sunglasses with. It’s waterproof, tear-proof and machine washable. And you feel pretty cool using it. Available cities include San Antonio, San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, New Orleans, Key West, Fla., and Hollywood, Calif., among others.
Where to buy: Check local bookstores, or online at randmcnally.com.
