Urban mapping creates multi vision foldable maps

Ever get sick of carrying around a huge guidebook with ten different maps of your favorite city, with each pertinent map flagged so you can flip all over the place when you're searching? Urban mapping thinks that they have the solution for you.

Remember that 2d-3d technology that they created 60 years ago where you can print on various angles on a document and see a different image when you look at the picture from a different angle? Apparently it's good for more circus tricks and cracker jack prizes.

Urban mapping has used the technology to overlay multiple maps onto one canvas -- neighborhood, street, subway, what have you -- look at the map from a different angle and you'll see a different layer. Sound useful? Check out the map in action below:
