[QUOTE="chris9834, post: 1548690, member: 52131"] I use my phone, to me maps are a waste of money in my situation no offense to anyone that might find that offensive whatever works for you keep doing it. Im in a big city and the reason I say maps are a waste of money imo is because they build new streets everyday here because its a booming area. So in the 2015 addition of Mapsco which is what is used around here and is printed probably in January or december of 14 isn't going to have the new streets built in February or later months until 2016 rolls around and then its a repeat problem sure I could go above and beyond and draw the streets in during my spare time but honestly I have better things to do and with the phone technology I no longer have to where as in the past you would have no choice. Secondly I have found it increasingly hard to find recent maps because of the GPS technology taking over. I will however take a map if ever I was in a rural area because reception could be a issue and without reception you have no google maps, but for that to happen I would have to go to a building with a rural route which I dont think would ever be possible. Just get you a phone with a good battery life maybe invest in a second battery with a charger port for backup and roll with it, and dont use turn by turn or your phone it will die 4 times faster then just using it like you would a map. I admit I have a 2 year old mapsco just incase my phone comes up missing or it just messes up but I havent ever used it and I wont unless something does happen. Good luck to you and use whatever your comfortable with or what best fits your senario. [/QUOTE]
