Default Maps

Where do you guys with EG's carry your maps? I always had a tank bag on sportbike & my sportster and really like being able to read the map while on the go. Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions for something smaller than a traditional tank bag.

thanks
Mike

I bought an intercom for that very reason. I don't need no stinking tank bag. The lady riding as a passenger gives me directions, I don't even have to ask!

There's no way I'd ever trust my wife to read a map. I'd end up in Mexico when trying to goto Canada.
