Print Maps
Friendly features make these print maps a perennial favorite of travelers
TGI’s renowned 3-dimensional illustrated print maps are more user-friendly than other print maps for visitors. Researched and designed with great care and attention to detail, our illustrated map guides have maintained their popularity over the decades.
TGI’s founder and his partners are all inveterate travelers. To develop these maps, TGI spends countless hours interviewing concierges, reading travel guides, meeting with visitor bureau staff, and conversing with travelers. The maps illustrate features that visitors need to orient themselves in a new location and understand the relationship of one area to another.
Online mapping services tell you how to get there. TGI’s unique print maps show you where you are.
For each destination, the maps illustrate the recognizable landmarks — both natural and man-made — that are used most often when one human being gives travelling directions to another. On an Oahu map, that includes Diamond Head. On a Boston map, that includes the iconic Citgo sign.
Special attention is paid to ease of use throughout the product. The index lists locations in clearly defined categories and links via grid references to well-marked locator numbers on the map itself. TGI developed a special fold so that users can easily fold the map to fit in a pocket and unfold the map to look at one area at a time.
Standard (or “stock”) versions of TGI’s print maps may be purchased in any quantity from our Map Store. We use a pricing system based on production volume, not just quantity in a specific order. This means that all of TGI’s clients get the benefit of large print runs in terms of lower per-unit prices.
Different formats for different needs
For large-quantity orders, our print maps can be formatted in many different shapes and sizes:
- The pocket map is the standard or “stock” version
- The PlaceMap® is a larger folded map with a laminate coating
- Our tabloid (or “flat”) maps can be folded or distributed in tear-off pads
- The Meeting Map is a version of our pocket map at a smaller size
- A map booklet prints the destination on multiple pages bound into a booklet
- Bizcard Maps® are accordion-fold maps that are the same size as standard business cards
- Enlargements of any map can also be ordered, either with or without the informational indexes
We absolutely love the maps! Most importantly, so do our guests! Every time I open the map they are intrigued by how well designed it is. These maps really do help the guests get a visual on where they are and what's around them. We are truly blessed to have met you all, and what you have done for the hotel.

Our customers love these maps. They are a kind of “analog anchor” in a digitized world. And I am talking of travelers in their 30s who grew up with the Internet – they love them!
