Google will cash your route. Nothing wrong with paper maps. I took a road trip from Atlanta metro to Fayetteville AR, 750 miles all back roads. There were almost 100 turns, if I used a paper map Id spend more time on the side of the road looking at the map than I would riding.

Thanks for the link. I use my phone for many reasons, I always turn on my Video recorder when I am In any city or heavy traffic, there is always a chance of the dreaded cop who insist you ran that light or someone in a cage who is texting and side swipes you and decide to keep going, well it's all recorded for future litigation.
I always carry a firearm and it's not easily concealable on a bike, my mounted Galaxy allows me to video and voice record every and all Interactions with a LEO, these stops can get crazy in seconds and when the LEO recognizes that the encounter is being recorded, they tend to follow the constitution instead of their opinions or beliefs.

I use my older Garmin Legend mounted on the handle bar with a RAM mount and powered with a flush mount cigarette lighter USB adapter and a USB cable. Works great but I also have the HOG provided atlas in the tour pak. I cover the GPS with a plastic bag or put it away when there is chance of traveling through lots of rain.
Ride safe.
