GPS, whilst being an important aid for the traveler who wants to go from point A to point B, cannot replace the map when you want a detailed overview or to have a leisurely grasp of the regions, towns, villages and sites that could invite a detour or rate a visit, nor does it describe what you may expect to enjoy seeing along the road. That's where the printed map and guide retain their useful functions. These are also the items by which to plan routes or write down personal remarks on things that you may wish to hold on to as a keepsake.
