I still like printed maps as well. Yeah, I get lost at times, but those are the best parts of a road trip.

 

I kept all my old HOG Road Atlases when they were sending them out. Have given a few away over the years as people needed a copy. But still have a few lying around. Definitely helps every time I go somewhere new, I look through to see what roads have been highlighted - and make sure to divert from the shortest route.

In advance of the HH in ‘20 (eventually ‘22 cause of the border closure) I purchased a complete set of Rand McNally fold out roadmaps to carry with me. With no GPS allowed, it was a lifesaver for when the directions turned out to be poorly written (as they often are, purposefully it seems!)

Nothing quite like a paper map. Reading one (especially a topo map!) is becoming a lost art.

 

I always have an atlas with me.

 

This makes me think I should at least review a map. However I have become Google dependent

 

I have a few of those hog road atlases as well. Not sure why they quit giving them out with a new bike purchase but I find it very handy in combination with gps.

 

They stopped cause they figured with GPS in the bike, why bother giving out an expensive paper document. I was upset. But I’m old… so that’s to be expected. I get angry at clouds…

 

I never road trip without a paper map. GPS can lead you off a cliff!

 

Butler makes the best detailed maps out there and will show every county road, dirt road, even private roads (which you have to be careful of). I started using them in my ADV bike days because I wanted to find all the public dirt roads I could. And we still have plenty here where I live…. I have one of Texas in my saddlebag, and another one hanging on my garage wall, and on that one I’ve highlighted in pink every road I’ve ridden 2-wheels on. The entire map is pretty much pink…….

 

I’ve a small set of Butler maps and agree they are the best. Not 100% coverage of the US and basically non-existent for elsewhere in the world. But for what they do cover, superb!

They do an annual Father’s Day sale. In case anyone is thinking about buying some… wait. It’s usually a pretty good deal!

 

Talk about lost, just hang out with TexasHooligan He will give you the true definition of being lost!!

As for me, I never get lost, people are always telling me where to go!!

 

Looks like some piss roads or a place to smoke a doob. Don't you just hate it when you just get it lit and some jack wagon comes flying by stirring up all that coliche dust? Not that I would know, just heard it somewhere.

 

A couple years ago I had a rookie firefighter approach me at the station and ask if I was holding a road map(I was), he said "whooaa can I touch it, I've never seen one in real life!"
Kids these days.. Hahaha
