Paper maps vs GPS
I read people stating constantly in these forums that they don't trust GPS and want to always verify with a paper map. Can those of you that believe that's true, please explain why you feel a paper...

it's not about accuracy, it's about flexibility. Rather than following the GPS which may take you over 2 lane windy mountain roads, you can stay on major highways by using an Atlas or take shortcuts that others have recommended. I also use online mapping like Google Maps and Mapquest. Online maps and GPS's have 2 options - shortest or fastest routes. Sometimes you need a combination of both. Also RV settings on GPS's use truck routing which takes you out of the way sometimes resulting in more mileage.
actually that is not true, if you really know how to use your gps and all its features it will do what you want. your can program "avoidances" like toll roads, dirt roads, etc works like a charm
