PopOut was founded in 1993. Having spotted a need to cure what he called ‘Map Stress Syndrome’ after watching numerous tourists around the City of Bath, battling with oversized maps, founder Derek Dacey recalled the invaluable miniature charts he used during his days as a commercial pilot. Aiming to bring this level of usability to the city map market, a small team of designers were recruited to realise what would soon become the PopOut.
Today Popout maps publish a successful range of international PopOut maps and travel guides for the worldwide retail and co-edition market.
