The Scratch & Track Map Keeps Tabs on Your Trip Highlights

— February 26, 2011 — World
Cartograms are some of the best tools we have to keep track of our geographical bearings, and the Scratch & Track Map has been designed to overlay your travel experiences on their locations.

Designed by Yuree S. Lim, this interactive mapping system is double-printed, with permanent topographical features and tourist destinations on the bottom later, with a scrapable surface overtop. As you visit different parts of a city, you can rub away with a coin segments of streets and building positions to reveal further detail. Add your own personal experiences in pen and the Scratch & Track Map will be a personalized depiction of your vacation, and an invaluable tool for future holidays.
