Having never bought a map pack before, I have a couple of questions.

Are these maps player friendly? Ie is everything labelled, are secret doors not secret because they are marked on the map etc?

What is the benefit of me buying this over just printing out the maps from my pdf of the adventure?

It seems like a good product if done well. Even if it's just for the poster maps.

I notice of lot of these requests have been made with the previous map folios. I was just wondering if they have been acted upon.

ie one map per page and larger to fill the whole page

player friendly maps without secret doors or info the players should not know about.

On another note I would gladly pay much extra cash to have these redrawn into battle map scale.

The maps in this product, and in the previous Adventure Path Folios, are identical to the ones in the Adventure Path volumes, with the only exception being that the poster maps are printed about 4 times larger than they were before.

We have not yet announced our future plans for AP Folios, but odds are good that we'll be making significant changes to the concept going forward.

I've updated the image and description to match the finished product.

I downloaded yesterday my PDF copy of the map folio, and through a quick check of it, seems to be lacking the map of the Garden of the Stone Speakers area (from both PF #20 and PF #24) and the map for Grundmoch's Lair (from PF #20), as if a single page with 2 maps from PF #20 was missing.

Is there any way that Paizo could put up PDFs of the maps that don't have the numbers or secret doors? The maps are so beautiful it's a shame that only the DM gets to see them. It wouldn't take much time for someone there to go into the original map files and just hit the delete key a few times, but it would make a huge difference for those of use who are running the adventures either on-line or with a projector. I didn't cancel my order for this folio as I was hoping for player maps as requested in previous threads. Please, it would really make the adventure path so much more enjoyable for many of us.

I hope this might be the right spot to ask for some changes here, that would make these more helpful than they are currently. I didn't want to do it in a review and mark this down as the maps are very nice.

Some things that would be nice to see are the removal of the numbers to most of these maps. I'd love to give the players these as handouts, but as they are labeled now, that just won't work. Similiar to the full city map it marks the areas of the city, but doesn't go beyond that. Pefect!

Also perhaps something to help keep the maps in place once opened. Like a pouch built into the binding so that the maps don't get lost, or dropped around when being moved around.

The last thing would be perhaps a bonus or two of additional maps or features that don't already show up in the AP.

Just picked this up as I'm starting a Legacy of Fire campaign using a iTableTop. I was disappointed to find that all the maps were labeled with the letters/numbers from the module, including the secret doors. More disappointing is that the maps are in one large PDF document and not individual image files.

If I use these, I'll have to take screenshots and then edit them to remove the labels and piece back together using GIMP. Then I can upload them to iTableTop to use as a mapboard. What a pain. But I guess it'll be easier than trying to create my own maps from scratch.

If you have Adobe Reader 8 or earlier, use the "Select" tool to click on any small map. When you then copy it, it will copy just the background, not the tags. Adobe makes you Ctrl-click (Windows) or Option-click (OS X) to grab a full-page map, though. Image extraction should be similarly easy on most other PDF readers; the only exception I know is that Adobe has removed this ability in Reader 9.

This works on some maps but not all, apparently. For example, in Dark Markets, you can copy the land map of Katapesh (inside front cover) without tags, but not the city map on p. 27.
