I'm surprised to hear that about the SeaLine.  Their stuff is usually good stuff.

I use zip-locks and waterproof paper.  I've seen people laminate maps.

Someone gave me a cheap one as a present, it quickly became all milky and useless before I ever tried it.

I like to have my maps laminated, then it doesn't matter.  Our church children's program had a great laminating machine and they used to laminate them for me. 

I then still use a map case for ease of use and storage, but I don't ever have to worry about my maps gettng wet.

I laminate my maps as well. If I was able to make trips of great distance it might not work too well, resulting in too many sheets to carry, however not my problem. One 'trick' that I do, is to use two maps that I cut up and overlap or duplicate the section where you would go on to the next sheet.
Best Wishes, Rob

Thanks for all the suggestions. I went with the sealine version that Campmor Sells. If it doesnt work I will go back to the ziplock inside the sealine, least until its time for another one.

I will let you know how they worked when we get back from our trip. Wink

we leave in just over 2 weeks  Shocked
