First is intuition and road signs , when they fail me I look at where the sun is....when that fails me I pull over and look at a map.
Taping directions to the tank is a favorite method too.

If going to a local destination i use Google maps and take along notes, if its cross country, I prefer a Rand McNalley.

I use the basic geography I learned in grade school, coupled with a HOG Tour Guide in the tourpack when a little more detail is required. If I need more detail than the maps in the Tour Guide provide then I'm flying by the seat of my pants.

Road signs and the sun...as long as I know what direction I'm going, it's eventually going to lead me to where I want to go. If I'm looking for something in particular in the middle of nowhere, I'll google it first before I leave the house.

I'm not one to ride with many gadgets or tools, but I do carry my phone with me in the event of an emergency. If I get lost, get into trouble, or break down...someone to help is just a phone call away. It's the only tool or gadget I ever carry, besides my wallet & knife.

What about the girl in your avy picture? Looks like she'd be a handy gadget for a road trip.
