I have used maps for years. But they don't tell you about road closure and accidents that are on your root. I have the sat nav on each day.

A map gets you to the right area. Also sat nav is crap at showing you where drops are in relation to other drops

Maps are always my go to option as you can put a postcode in and drive but you don't know where your going your only following. Where if you had a map you can look at thw map and decide the route you want and nit follow the sat nav down bad roads that they think are suitable
