--Jon Bon Jovi--Maps are quickly becoming a thing of the past as are navigation systems on vehicles... the smart phone and an app work pretty well until they don't and then where are you?
This is great! I still love maps. Can't find 'em in gas stations anymore - which is very sad. I'm sure your dad taught you how to read them - like mine did. =)
@marlboromaam actually... my dad was GREAT at reading the stars since he was an Air Force navigator but terrible navigating on pavement and he would never stop and ask for directional assistance. He drove my mom nuts when we went on long, family vacations in the car.
Maps give you more of a "big picture" view to the whole area, I bought a wonderful Atlas before our gypsie adventure and consulted it before the goggle map on the phone. Cute jeep!
I won't venture to a new place without a paper map (even with a copied printout from MapQuest.com). I rely on my navigation but don't totally trust it. Good shot to point that out!
@joysabin Thanks Joy.... Iāll take both as. My āshortcutsā (as in when I think I know where i am going and really donāt) end up in unusual places:)
@terryliv thanks... I think a good majority here are in favor of maps over GPS nav.
@milaniet I lean a little more towards satnav because of convenience but when on a long trip I like to have a set of directions and a map!
@thewatersphotos Thanks Gary... I think you are in the majority here.
@sherimiya I think I may do better with the Satnav or the app Waze but I still love a map.
@merrelyn thanks Merrelyn... Iām exactly the same way. When trip planning I use my printed road atlas and individual maps in addition to online mapping and saving locations in Google maps.
Thanks for all the terrific comments... it was fun reading them,
@monikozi I had another place in mind... a park up near the Allatoona Dam but it is closed this time of the year... there are some great rock faces there.

I am currently in the process of planning a 3 week, 10,000km drive into Central Australia in April and have maps everywhere.
@denful thanks for your comment Denise... that is a cool story... how often does he succeed?
@monikozi thanks Moni... that is the library parking lot... nice big rocks in the background.
@wakelys thanks Susan... Iāve gotten into some trouble with satnavās more so than with maps... yet I use both.

@yolanda Thanks Yolanda... I completely agree.
