road maps are generally useful but less so than GPS I find.
In your GPS unit, or phone, you get detailed and precise information on exact turns.
With a roadmap, you would need either a map for each area you might be travelling (which is alot for me and I wouldnt want to manage/sort through them), plus you have to actually stop and look at it every so often and they frequently miss little roads in regional areas, not to mention not having names on each and every road.. makes regional travel quite annoying at times if you dont know the area well |
