Hi All,
Back in the day I used only paper maps when I drove the Pan-American highway from Alaska to Argentina - I had no digital mapping of any kind, not even a phone.
It worked, but it was far from perfect.
Things have changed a lot since then, and for my around-Africa expedition and North America I use a combination of paper maps, a dash-mounted GPS with FREE worldwide maps, a couple of FREE phone apps, and I even manage to load some of that into my dash-mounted GPS.
In this video I explain the whole setup, and show you how to get the best global navigation on a budget:
Fire away with any questions you have!
