I tuck my mapcase between my back and my rucksack. I have a small carabiner on one rucksack strap into which I clip the map case cord for retention.

It can be a bit sweaty on the hottest days but otherwise works well for me.

Lots of ingenious ideas. I am about to try a version of my own.

There are however disadvantages to the "put map in pocket" idea for a proportion of the population. Firstly, some trousers have map pockets, but I have never come across a women's one (and possibly for good reason as I have very short legs). I also have a smock type waterproof. Good size pouch but because it is part-filled from the inside (to put it delicately) it is unsuited to anything long and flat.

I am surprised how many people travel without the full map. There must really be people out there who plan the walk and walk the plan. Part of the fun for me is perusing the map and walking out alternatives as I go along . Most of which I don't take, but there have been times ..... (not,of course, without informing Challenge Control ).
