Paper maps are now rare items. It should be that many of the younger generation have never seen it. Everyone can open Google Maps just by picking up their phone. The convenience must be better than the paper map. And it is also rich in features, restaurants, parking lots, attractions, and even sharing personal locations. But in the past, when Google Maps was not so popular and convenient, the best way to use it was paper maps. At that time, people who could read maps were really powerful, and they had to clearly distinguish east, west, north and south. Otherwise, you don't know which way to go!
When I was in Montreal in 2012, I took a paper map and visited the sights of the old town. At that time, the mobile network was not as convenient as it is now, and the price was still very expensive. Still very dependent on indoor Wi-Fi, otherwise there is basically no network when going out. In particular, although the US mobile phone number has a network, it is not necessary to do it in Canada after only one week. Therefore, when you go to almost every place, you can take a map and take a map.
Otherwise, do your homework on your computer and transfer it to your phone. In order to be convenient to use, it was necessary to take pictures to record at the beginning.
In fact, now I feel that holding a paper map is quite a feeling. Very adventurous feeling. You have to judge the location for yourself, looking for direction. Go to the destination you want to go, and you may find surprises along the way. It is quite fun to correspond to the map. Of course, the convenience cannot be compared with Google Maps. Occasionally it may feel a little cumbersome and troublesome. But in 2012 it was my good partner, an indispensable presence. When asking for directions, the other party assists in giving directions together, and by the way, tells you where to go. There are places that only locals go to! These are not the feelings that can be felt under the current technology.
