Gps has killed the map.
I have used maps most of my life. Road maps, lake maps, topo maps, etc. If I was going out of state, I always made sure I had my road atlas in the truck, now, not so much. The smart phone has probably put Rand McNally out of business.
The second time I went to Dale Hollow Lake, I had my trusty lake map, and a hand held gps. Come to find out, the trusty lake map is worthless if you can't pin point where you are on it. The first trip was very memorable.
The lake maps were my hold out maps. I never went to a big lake without a map. Until I got GPS and a map package in the electronics in the boat, that put the waterproof paper map to shame.
Who still uses a real map? The art of map folding might be lost forever.
