One of the greatest additions to any vehicle glove compartment during a road trip is a current road map. Maps may seem to be an outdated concept now that global positioning systems (GPS) are common in vehicles, but nothing compares to the accuracy of a map. Statistically, GPS devices can be unreliable at times, and they are known to break down occasionally. There are maps that are ideal for any destination, and travelers can opt for a foldable map, an atlas booklet, or key maps. These can be specific by region, state, or city, and having a good assortment relevant to each destination is wise. These handy guides can be a lifesaver if travelers that rely on an electronic system find themselves unexpectedly without a functioning one.
