Would this be a suitable size for carrying a map in?

It's 15x26cm and I could pick it up for a mere 2,20 euros from Caminoteca when I get to Pamplona.

I'm thinking if we are doing the Camino Baztan backwards in May 2014 it could be a very wet experience (if this year is anything to go by) and I'll want to be able to read our map and/or directions easily.

If you would advise a bigger map-friendly case, does anyone know where I could get one?

Does the top of this roll over, or let wet in? Ours is slightly bigger, but maps fold etc it easily takes an A5 size booklet (CSJ guide) with room to spare. The most imortant thing is that its top rolls over and holds down with velcro so however wet the day the map etc stays dry.
It is like this one on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004NROVG0/?tag=casaivar-21
