City-sheet is a portable, convenient electronic information system for travellers. It stores the user’s preferred information and puts an end to the carrying of heavy guidebooks.

Many people enjoy travelling somewhere new. They use guide books and maps to understand their destination. Travelling around several cities on one trip requires the carrying of multiple guidebooks that probably contain more information than will be used. City-sheet puts an end to the carrying of heavy books and the use of large-format maps, making travel more pleasurable. It is a book of just five sheets that show the necessary information, loaded through a USB connection. Travellers can select and edit details on their personal computer before travelling and save it to City- sheet.

The information is divided into five folders according to its type – topographical map, road map, public transport map, information about the place, and zones (set by the character of each zone). Each folder’s information will appear on a slide, and can be layered. Each E-paper slide can be rolled.
