The Numbers 4600 of us still keep paper maps in our cars. PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOSHUA SCOTT Given the direction that navigation systems are going- most new cars and even the dumbest smartphones have some kind of GPS function, right?-you'd think drivers would ditch these paper predecessors. But according to a survey commissioned by Michelin Travel & Lifestyle, nearly half of those who hit the road have maps and atlases stashed in their vehicles. The advantages of taking the paper route? "The battery doesn't die, it's easy to use, and it's easily accessible," says Cynthia Ochterbeck, editorial director of Michelin Travel Partners. Plus, she says, armed with a physical map, you might find a faster or more picturesque drive. In other words, don't tell these maps to get lost. DECEMBER 2013 SPIRIT 41
