I don't think I could orientate myself with a paper map any more...I am one of those who are too reliant on GPS.

I'm sure when the first Ford Model T hit the road, there were online articles about how "don't throw away your horse and buggy just yet!" too :D

I dropped my map once and accidentally stepped on it, luckily it still worked when I picked it up. I fear that I will have to replace it soon though, I can't find the door to change the batteries.
