I don't use GPS a lot, but I do use it seemingly regularly, as stuff comes up, and it's mainly Maps, Apple.
Just as some people won't allow Alexa in da house, I won't let Google monitor/track my whereabouts.
Maps over all works quite well for me.
I've only had one instance where it gave me a runaround to get from Point B to A, even after getting from A to B quickly and correctly. That was years ago.
I was never a paper map snob. They represented the best that could be done in a primitive manner and time.
For years, I use a Thomas Guide, which was state of the art in paper maps for me.
A friend lent me a Garmin Street Pilot of check out, and it was amazing. It was a monster, but that was then, and it was still amazing. Now there's personal, portable GPS.
Paper maps are still useful, say for plotting a long trip. But once done, it's pixel over paper, until if and when a major course change is desired or needed.
