The villages street map
 
Why aren't the street maps the villages sell for $5.00 made out of better paper so they would last at least six months without coming apart???

I have a 2012 street map and it's still in good shape. I suppose it depends on how much you use the map. I need a new map because of the new streets that have been added since 2012.

Recently checking on a new map I was told a new one should be available in February, 2014.

Should probably use better quality paper

You only need it to hold up in the cart until someone stops to help with directions!

That is beside the point, the paper is of a horrible quality and should last several years. I paid $5.00 for a map and it should last longer. I doubt that most of us purchase a new map every six months.
