Offline maps are way better than paper maps, though. I go hiking and use maps.me. I just download and import hiking trails as KMZ files. And you can also download the offline mapping and routing data for any country in the world, just like a TomTom GPS.<p>Paper maps are fine, and I can still read those. But they really pale in comparison to a map with GPS and automatic routing. Also a built-in compass. And a camera. And everything else that a modern smart-phone can do.
