   Call me old fashioned! I still like those 'old paper maps'.
   Some maps online sometimes are not reliable.

I know how to read a map and like it for long trip as it shows other towns around were we are going and it makes it interesting.  However use the GPS when we are just going for the day

I was grown when GPS came out so I am familiar with using a map.  If I am traveling somewhere unfamilar I use a gps.

I rely on my GPS, but I absolutely can read a map. I actually wish I'd had one not too long ago when I was traveling through northern Wyoming/southern Montana. Very little cellular service.

I follow maps, and write instructions when needed.

Creepy having the car tell me where to go.

Now I use my GPS on my phone, but before smartphones all you had was a paper map.  Sometimes you just need to look at the whole state as a whole for figure out where you are going.
