Magnetic Map Holders

[james1988]

Afternoon,

I'm trying to find a map holder that is magnetic that will sit on the bike tank. I've found these two so far:

Made by Louis for £10
https://www.getgeared.co.uk/
LOUIS_International_Magnet_Map_Pouch?sc=28&category=204

and

Made by Bagalux for £28
https://www.mandp.co.uk/productinfo/561540/Luggage/Soft-Luggage/Baglux/Luggage-Accessories

Is it really worth the extra £18?
Does anybody have experience with either?
Are there any others out there that I should consider, if so could you please point me to them.

I prefer using maps to a Sat Nav and as the one I'm using on my phone (Nav Free) can sometimes be way off, I'd prefer to use a map on my short bimble around Cornwall.

All help will be extremely appreciated!

Thanks,
James

In my opinion, I would just get a tank bag that usually has a map holder on top, since they can be picked up for a fair price as well.

More useful than map holder alone, unless there is reasoning as to why you just want a map holder.

My Lidl tank bag has a clear top to it, but it zips off the base leaving behind another clear pocket to use as a map holder - you might find one cheap on eBay.

Use teh moon and wind direction.

Or sign posts.

To be honest I have to stair at a map for ages if I don't have the SatNav, so pretty dangerous for me whilst riding.
It wouldn't annoy me too much to pull over and pull a map out of my pocket, so I'm not really much help.

My 16 quid tank bag had both a map pouch on top, and on the base after you zipped it off. PX-speed branded, got it from eBay.
