I love paper maps, I have never had one run out of battery, or direct me onto a dead end.

It's more than that though. It's an adventure whenever you look at one.

I never use GPS or location services, show me a map and I know where I am and how to get to the next place.

My most recent paper map is of Tobago.

I have had a paper map direct me through a gated community. Thankfully the tools in the truck unfastened the hinges. Still bugs me. It was a county road!
