Wow, I had no idea this forum indulged in the ridiculousness of the 'EDC'.

As for digital maps vs real maps;
If you want to get to know a place, take your eyes off the twatnav and keep them on the road. There are probably enough road signs to get you where you want to go. It is incredibly unlikely that you will become genuinely lost.
For the times when you are, paper maps are often superior when it comes to calming the fuck down and actually realising where you need to go next.
Digital maps and GPS are useful, but I'm astonished how many people see them as indispensable.
