I love looking at paper maps for my wilderness backpacking/camping trips. I really like seeing where the trail leads and what camping spots I can use. It just makes it feel like a big adventure.
Additionally, having a weather proof map for wilderness trips is invaluable. I'd never rely on a digital device to provide what could be a life saving tool.

You really need a good map, and you don't want to be dependent on an electronic device that has many failure modes (e.g. running out of power, getting wet, getting dropped into a canyon, getting smashed...).
