I'll use my phone or paper maps depending on the situation. - Backpacking for one night: Probably just phone (I use an app called Offline Topo Maps, works great). - Backpacking for an extended amount of time: Paper - Backpacking in winter/snow: Paper and Phone. (Only use the phone for when I'm not quite sure where I am) - Motorcycle tour: Phone. - Multiday rafting: Paper. - Bicycle Tour: Phone and Paper. - General Travel to a new place: Phone. I feel as if one isn't necessarily better than the other, they both have their pros & cons for different activities.
