    Default Maps

    I posted this elsewhere, but it's not just a "Honda Trikes" subject.

    I see a lot of posts across the internet related to navigation, favorite means, features, dislikes, etc.

    I have 2 Garmins I tend to use as toys. I have a GPS antenna that plugs into the USB of my laptop and works with the program (MS Streets) that turns the laptop into a reallybig GPS.

    But I grew up looking at MAPS (folding maps from several states or Rand McNally's Atlas). I have a collection too that goes way back, I can find stuff on them that no longer even exist in real life, but I can find "where" it was. I still do what I've always done before a trip or next day's peg of trip, I sit down with a map or atlas and I study it so that when done, I don't need GPS …. my mind is then my GPS. I can know the road from here to there and know it's features in a thought without taking a hand off the wheel or grip. It was perusing maps that has shown me many interesting roadside attractions, monuments, places I wanted to see that I had forgotten, places I didn't know were near, IOWs …."the lay of the land".

    I can't show you a GPS view of 1910 roadways, but I can pull out a map of them, I can use the map to find and visit.

    Maps are a durable history, the updates are newer maps but you get to keep the old one and any notes … if GPS updates, you loose the old one. Yeah, I like and use maps, I use GPS just for play.
    Make Courtesy Your "Code of the Road" too!

    I never thought to keep the older maps, but I always have a current one in all my vehicles including the trike. I call them a 2 D Nav. System.

    I was somewhere where the maps function on my cell phone didn't work because of no cell service in that area.

    Sure glad I had the 2 D Nav. System with me. (two dimensional)

    I like maps a lot. I can see the relationship of space and direction between locations in one glance..i.e....they give me the grand picture. When looking for “rides” I like to look at printed county maps as statewide road maps don’t show all the little quaint country lanes. Also like and use GPS.

    Topographical maps are my favorite....Especially when the elevation contour line's are real close to each other........

    Like Crystal Pistol I love maps. I have stacks of old maps and I love going and finding old roads,towns, roadside interests. I can look at a map and get a sense of where I am going and how I want to get there and if there are any interesting side trips I want to take. I can't see all that on a GPS. Once I have it allplanned out then I can try and put it in the GPS,but sometimes it is just easier to write it down and remember it or look at my notes

    I use maps to plan a trip and check them at each stop (memory ain't as good as it once was). I have my GPS on while riding mainly to see what turns are coming up next, if I have not been on that road before. Sometimes GPS thinks too hard!
    It is what it is.

    As I replied to Carla's post, I've been a long time user of the Mapsco Roads of TX atlas. Going back years to the old TMRA one lap of TX tours. The objective was to take pictures of your ride in front specific locations based on zip codes. Each tour had to be completed within 12 mos of when it was started. Thank God for the mild winters we have in TX.

    dup in your other thread

    We have several boxes of maps from various places we have been and I usually get more up to date ones when we visit an area again.

    I always use a map first than plot out directions on my gps. Otherwise my old mind will remember it wrong.

    I love maps, but unfortunately unless you get a Gazetteer type map you won't be able to see the more "obscure" (read: interesting, scenic, remote, rural,etc.) roads. This gets pretty cumbersome for any longer road trip. I use 2D maps for the gross details of a trip and GPS/Google maps for the fine details of more obscure destinations.

    My wife and I do a lot of "Where do we go today?" trips sowhat I've started doing is to keep a general North America atlas and a composition book in the TV room. My wife and I are fans of the Triple D restaurants and haunted places (wife more than me) and obscure historical places. When I watch the Travel Channel, etc. and see an interesting place I put a mark on the map in the atlas with a number that corresponds to a description in the composition book. When we take off for a road trip to an area or region the atlas and book come with us so we don't drive by something interesting because we forgot where it was. Places like this: http://www.kansastravel.org/balloftwine.htm or this: http://trans-alleghenylunaticasylum.com/
