Road atlas and a stack of sticky notes. Check my route and jot it down on a sticky that then goes on my windshield. I also like to download and save sat views of the local area around both my pickup and delivery locations.
I do keep a garmin but its crap, unreliable, and i use it mostly to let me know what roads are coming up. Pretty rare i actully use it as gps. -

which makes me wanna say, i bought a really slick Garmin Smart Drive 65.
i go to different shooting ranges, and this takes me turn by turn, down some county and private dirt roads.
you know, the roads truckers should never take.???...lol
didn't cost me a lot, i used my credit card points, and got free shipping. -
Unfortunately, a navigation app on a cellphone is a dead-end road. Smokey doesn't care what you were doing with your phone - if he sees it in your hand he's going to write you ticket and in some jurisdictions (Oregon and others) there are criminal penalties for using a cell phone while driving. That means he's going to put you in cuffs and drag you off to the pokey. I'd much rather pay for a GPS than risk jail. If nothing else, it's easier to read the names of the side streets on a GPS than it is to try to make them out at night or in the rain.
Bumper Thanks this. -
