I remember having state maps in my car, the kind that were a pain in the ass to fold. I also had detailed maps of some counties that came in a red book.

Smart.

I don't carry paper maps anymore (unless I'm backwoods hiking), but I do download maps when I'm going to areas with poor cell coverage.

We used Maine Gazetteers forever (since my earliest memories). My Dad wore the cover right off the copy he had at home. He was always planning his next fishing or hunting trip, that was his great joy, his jam.

I liked the topography detail of printed maps back in my serious hiking days. I have a camp in the mountains, all kinds of peaks and faces to climb, secluded mountain ponds. The mountain behind my camp is 3714' tall, which is among the highest for the area. I used to pencil in the snowmobile/atv/hiking trails and trails into remote ponds as I discovered them onto my Gazetteer.

Topographic maps are sweet and essential for backwoods navigation.
