There’s nothing wrong with using GPS—it’s incredibly handy, especially when you’re in an unfamiliar town.
However, it should be part of a navigational PACE plan. When my family travels it always goes:
Primary: GPS
Alternate: Printed-out Google Maps directions
Contingency: Atlas
Emergency: Cell phone call to a family member with access to the internet!
With the advent of smartphones, we can now use Google Maps on our phones as a new Alternate step.
