Paper maps still relevant even with computers, GPS. (Wisconsin State Journal, 8/16/2015)
Paper is still king
Curiously, in an increasingly paperless world, printed products kept the business afloat during the recession – specifically, recreation maps, King said.
Mapping Specialists created a series of recreation-based atlases, which required detailed research on climate, campgrounds and other attractions, King said.
King has mapped so many locations and vacation spots, he said, that he could spend the rest of his life traveling the world. He travels a couple times each year to meet with clients, many of whom are located in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Australia and India.
Like Jeff King, I was obsessed with maps -- road maps in particular -- when I was a kid. I still am, to a degree, which is why I collect Wisconsin road maps.
