[QUOTE="chris9834, post: 1793513, member: 52131"] I use my phone if i pluck in any address it would be the 1st stop of my day on a route i dont know. Then i will just look at the surrounding streets around the address to get a idea, to me there are pros and cons to both phones and maps. I just prefer phone maps because its a pain with the paper map pages flopping around on the dash that and in my area they build new housing additions left and right so the new streets wont be on paper map. That and paper maps are becoming a dead trend due to phones the paper map companies are going under its hard to find a recent map in my region mapsco was the thing and the latest addition i have is 2010. As far as phones go if you run out of battery you are now officially blind foreal or if your phone gets damaged or suffers a melt down, i recommend always having a paper map as a back up, and get a outdoor phone charger i got one from Batteries Plus i paid $30 for it and it will charge my note 3 up 3 times from dead to full battery. Also yes if use gps on every single address it would be absolutely a time killer and a battery killer just use the map as if was a paper map. [/QUOTE]
