I always have a map. I use it heavy duty, with GPS, when I’m in unknown country. In known country, I don’t use it except to show the group where we are.

Interesting tidbit: I have been on 3 recent trips with some young kids (6 and 8 years old). They easily do 15 miles/day with a small pack on. Instead of asking “Are we there yet?” they always ask “Where are we?” And they just love seeing on the map where they are. It’s embarrassing when they ask “weren’t we supposed to be on that trail over here?” And yes we were supposed to be there but I took the wrong fork in the woods…
