No batteries. It’s powered by the folding and unfolding.
I think as part of their history classes, kids should be introduced to the items from the days before high tech: maps, slide rules, etc.
This is typical for a generation that has known nothing else but their cell phones.
It’s like when you try to enlarge a picture in a book with your fingers.
It shows you the options. It then requires you to think about what route you want to use.
Really like my eReader but books have the same advantage as maps.
Family lore has it that my Uncle Fred (Dad’s oldest brother) became a Greyhound bus driver because he could fold up a map. (Unfortunately, eating at roadside diners eventually caught up with him at age 66.)
Maps are really really nice for seeing the whole big picture all at once.
