I have a navigation system in my 2007 F-150. I also use google maps because of the traffic data. I don't like a single point of failure and both have their place. Google maps tries to reroute you for one minute slower traffic which makes you chase your tail. Their algorithm is getting too cute and I use my truck system more - although I can't change an address on the fly or get traffic.
I agree on the validity of paper maps and I use them as a check and balance because google has really messed me up on crosscountries in rural areas. The catch is the paper map will too because when I'm that far off the beaten path, you need a really detailed map. My national atlas doesn't cut it and a tristate map doesn't necessarily do it either.
