Does anyone have a Map Holder (magnetic preferred) that they recommend?

I'm not looking for a tank bag at all. Just something small, and flat, that can just hold a map or directions. The smaller the better.

I've found a bunch online, but I'd like to get people's recommendations from here.

Thanks..

PS: Yes, I do use the search function and could't find anything similar.

TourMaster tank bags have removable map holders that you could use. I know you weren't looking for a tank bag, but I didn't realize they were removable until I bought one. It's expensive if all you want is a map holder.

If you want to go super-cheap....1 gallon Ziploc bag and 4 round magnets. Right? <grin>

Check with places that carry pilot supplies. Airport FBO's, Sporty's Pilot Shop (http://www.sportys.com/), etc. Pilots frequently use kneeboards for maps, but sometimes want clear plastic holders as well. I've also seen them at outdoor supply stores (i.e. REI (http://www.rei.com) and others). Another real cheap place is a plain old office supply store. Look for plastic notebook pages. Some of them have zip-up edges and are relatively waterproof.

whynot?

Actually I thinkn this is the cheapest and maybe the best. I use Ziploc bags for many things so this would be a new one ... easy to replace if needed.. Good idea !:D
