[QUOTE="Rack em, post: 2844780, member: 60861"] As a cover driver who does a lot of rural routes, I have used both google maps and paper maps and I prefer paper maps waaaaaaaaaaaay more. Our county maps show us whether a road is paved, gravel, dirt, or even a trail cutting through a field. So I know if it's raining/snowing not to go on certain roads or else I'll potentially get stuck. Google maps would just carrot a point on the road. And a lot of the time google maps is way off and thinks a house is at one spot but it's either back half a mile or the house 3 houses up. So by looking at your phone, you just blew by the stop and have to back track. Even worse, you go to the wrong house because you didn't look for a house number and you mis deliver a package. You scanned the package and the diad started freaking out saying you're not in the right area, but you know you have to be at the right house because google maps said so. Now you have a mis delivery and a DFU for the next day. Paper maps>GPS/Google by a landslide! [/QUOTE]
