Also, laminated maps are bulky. I have unlaminated shop maps that are decades old, kept in two plastic bags on trips. The outer one takes the punishment and the inner one is waterproof. Spare maps are in the pack, well away from rain but handy if I need them.
I fold the maps to suit the trip, not the original folds. Having different folds for each trip means that the map wears evenly. The cost of laminating is most probably more than the cost of a map life unlaminated.
The PV map is fair. The route is straightforward in most places. However, when walking Sugarloaf Saddle-Sugarloaf-Farmyard you need to look for false leads and the best way to go.
