They're robust and fit in your wallet. If you've got one of those
windows in your wallet, you can view the tube map without even taking
the card out.

Yes, you can get maps for free from LT, but they're not credit card
sized.

Just getting an idea for demand...if there's enough interest, they'll
be ready in August this year.

not many I would guess.

How can I possibly read a tube map that 2 inch by 1 inch?

I've owned such a map in the past and it showed the central area on one
side and the east and west areas on the back.

He said "in August" not "on the first day of August". If you're going
to try to be pedantic like that, you really ought to be a bit more
careful about the details.

I think I remember having one of those. I certainly hate having pockets full
of bulky things, especially in the summer (bulging pockets = hot & sweaty,
not in a good way

So, for the original poster, yes, but I'd like to know if it's double-sided,
or fold-out, or just incredibly well printed.

Quite. Although mitigating circumstance, in that the original post was a bit
of an advertisment!

How much is your license from TfL, out of interest?

But even so, if he hasn't yet decide if he's going to do it,
he'll be pushed for the end of august as well

Or, in my case, whether a free magnifying glass is supplied with each
map.

The Z-card maps available *free* from stations in The City sound a lot
better than what you are proposing.

I've got an idea for how you could make a credit-card sized map that would
blow people's socks off. Production costs would be dearer than what you are
proposing, though.

Personally I'd rather not have both an expensive map that I couldn't read
*and* cold feet.

Seriously, why this obsession with credit-card sized maps? It's a linear
reduction by a factor of 2.5 on the pocket tube map, which means that the
letters of the station names will be only about 0.4 mm high, or in printing
parlance about 1.6-point. What's the use of that?

Um - cos it fits in the wallet alongside all one's credit cards? Don't know
about you, but often the *only* thing I have with me is my mobile phone and
my credit-card-sized wallet, especially if I'm going out on the town. I
don't carry a girlie handbag with space for the z-card map in it.

I used to have the Mercury phone card (and thus credit-card sized) with the
Zone 1/2 map on the face, despite knowing the tube lines off by heart it's
still occasionally useful to quickly glance at the tube map, or show to some
tourists who've stopped you in the street and asked how to get to "x" etc.
