Hard to beat the old dead tree map -if- you know how to read one and know how to navigate. I can tell you from my experience in the Army and with the boy scouts ... most dont have a clue.
Spent part of a summer with a couple of friends driving 10k miles all over the US with nothing but a Delorme Road Atlas.

Reminds me of my land navigation courses at Benning. Most don’t have a clue. We must have done land navigation six or seven times. The same dozen would get lost every time. The course was bounded by hardsurface roads. If you’re lost, just pick a direction, walk till you find a road, sit down, cadre will be by shortly.
I did know one artillery commander who would have every third field exercise without GPS, just maps and compass. Really pissed his troops off.
