In our neck of the woods, membership in the Automobile Association comes with free maps. You have to go into their offices and request them, and they're very helpful about which maps may come handy.

I usually get them before a long roadtrip into areas where they may be weak cell service. To be safe, I also download digital maps, but a paper map gives better broad context on where we are and what is nearby.

Problem is, we're terrible at getting rid of them after the trips...
