Laminated maps have a place, but foldable are better IMO. Gives better & larger geographic area, and take up less room. Can fold to the section needed currently, and if scale is correct can open up for objective perhaps hours to days out.
Ziplocks are your friend.
Did a lot of hikes with foldable paper maps open to the section you were traveling through kept in a see through ziplock.
You don't need the full map at any time except for an over view or if you're triangulating {lost} and looking for landmarks.
