Why Use a Paper Map in National Forests Instead of GPS?
GPS can lose signal in dense forests or remote wilderness areas, making paper maps a reliable alternative. Folding trail maps offer a complete overview of forest terrain, trail connections, and landmarks, allowing you to navigate confidently without relying on technology or batteries.
