lol paper maps. LOL I use my google maps if i need to find anything, but yes I want to use my new sexy truck. haha
the MAX is the Canadian version of the EL, its a nicer truck.
Paper maps are useful! Almost essential in places. Not the gas station / AAA variety though. I have a bunch of Gazeteer books, one for each state I'm travelling in. They have every single road in the state including gravel back roads. Especially useful for planning the next days route ... And they don't break or run out of a cell phone connection or battery power!
I've used Google Maps offline navigation, when I was in Canada last winter ski trips with no cell coverage. Get 15 feet off the road, like gas station, and its gone ... Blind, no navigation instruction Its not like it downloads the entire rectangle map area to your Android and recalculates navigation. Printed road maps are just like printed topo maps when backpacking. They don't break. Electronic compass and altimeter also can be unreliable in the backcountry. Old school in hand when your life depends on it.Google Play on Android has a nifty tool called "Offline Navigation"
Mad levels of detail, dirt roads, gravel roads, former roads, waypoints.... lots of fun stuff.
Where are you guys traveling to & from that you are finding miles upon miles of brand spanking new roads, thus rendering couple-year-old software useless?
Are you using navigation to get around a housing addition?
