It's weird that people (claim to) have had bad luck with cassette tape, because it worked pretty well for me. I don't believe I ever had a player chew tape, although I was never rich enough to afford a car stereo with a tape player so maybe those were more prone to it. Also, paper maps! Excellent! The trick was you had to have done Orienteering at school, where (and I'm not making this up) a teacher would drop you off in the middle of nowhere with a map and if you were very lucky a compass, and tell you they'd see you back at the school, and if you could try to make it back before 9pm because then the teachers would still have time to get a few rounds in at the pub before closing time.
