I planning a road trip, and I'm curious to see what others use for Navigation. Cell ph, Garmin, map?

 

Maps!

I'm old skool man! I also have a geography degree, and have no interest in electronic navigation. But I realize I am in the minority and it is a great tool for most people.

GPS...we don't need no stink'n GPS!

 

Sun and stars... I like maps too. But then again, I wouldn't mind having the ETA and distance to rest stops, etc at the push of a button. If I do start using a gps, it will be a Garmin or the like and leave the phone in my pocket or bag.

 

A stinking' GPS..
Zumo 550 mounted to Kuryakyn Gas tank door.. Also, I use it
for my MP3 player..

 

Zumo 550 mounted to bars. Works great. I mainly just use it on long trips

 

Printed Google maps.

 

If I get lost I get out the phone.

 

Garmin Zumo 550. Have had it since 2005 and it comes in VERY handy.

 

As long as I don't run out of gas, I am never lost.....

 

I like to use a real map. You can see the big picture without zooming in and out. You can also see if Google maps is in the ballpark. When I get close, I use Google Maps on my Android which gives you voice directions, which I play through the Aux jack on the Ultra's stereo.

I also like the map so I can use County roads, instead of the State roads navigation uses. I like avoiding cages, and enjoying the scenery.
