who uses paper maps anymore?
He does. Not his choice.
I do, too.
I'll do so at times as well ... the "right tool for the job" applies.
An example is when hiking a new trail /area; a hardcopy printout is light and supplements the USGS Topo's (they can stay in the pack for emergency use). There's an iPhone & GPS along too, but they eat batteries and neither locates well under heavier tree canopies especially when cell towers are absent/thin. In some of my favored hiking areas, part of my trailhead checklist is to put the
iPhone into "Airplane" mode to prevent its battery from getting drained; BTDT.
