Map is one of the main hosts in Dora the Explorer. He is a funny, bouncy rolled-up Map that lives inside Backpack's side pocket and peeks out whenever we call "Map!" He speaks English and is an incredibly useful helper for our young explorers as he always knows where to go and how to get there. Whenever Dora asks us to check the Map for directions, he plans out our journey with a simple graphic that shows our route.
