I actually considered getting a couple maps like that lol. Nostalgia, but also redundancy. Also it would be kind of funny to fold out one of those giant maps while everyone else just whips up google maps. We’re going retro, bitches.
I have two sets of these that I use. When one of them’s for when I’m off road and off-grid and very little works. The other one so that way I can have my kids look at just general road atlases as we travel quite a bit they enjoy seeing and trying to find where we’re at. They will come in handy in case of anything happening as far as connectivity and stuff like that.
Protip, you can use the app comaps on android. It downloads and stores the maps for the regions you want entirely offline. The off-road maps are stunning where I am, detail far beyond what google has
Normally I use onX for off road. It’s great so far.
Edit: not sure why all the open street maps show my address incorrectly. It’s frustrating. I had to change it in one app already, not creating another account to add this one change.
If you contribute the change to OSM, it’ll update on them all. I believe that’s what comaps edits do, hence using the openstreetmap account instead of comap account
My dad w his drawer full of old road atlases: “WHATS UP NOW MOTHERFUCKERS!!?”
Digital maps would still work, you’d just have to know where you are. Just like old books
Like in the before time?

You have to get ones that used to be at rest areas and stuff that are comically large and impractical to use in a car. Much less try to fold.
