When we used to do adventure rides the instructions were on long strips of paper we wound onto what we called a"click clack" box. The sound of the lid shutting.
I made a bigger version and fitted a "toilet roll" map into the box arrangement. It means we can go exploring back country roads when there is no particular destination in mind.
I used our AA maps, sliced them to width and cello-taped them together. I can fit the whole of the North Island of NZ into the box and the maps have the name of every dirt and back road we may choose to ride along.
The GPS systems don't give us this freedom to see all the options and simply travel where the mood takes us.
I hope the photo's will give you the basics of the construction.
