I still use a map; but mine comes in a book with handy, car-suitable pages. Satnav is great for A→B, where A and B are well-defined in advance (and you’re not interested in what may be vaguely between them); when you’re on a more flexible journey, for planning at least, give me a hard-copy map every time.
I spent over 35 years driving a semi, and never used a GPS, or Sat Nav. Heard FAR too many horror stories of the system trying to route a 13’ 6" trailer under an 11’ bridge!
For many years I was required to drive to customer locations to give support. When the internet came along I printed maps from map quest, but along came GPS technology and I went with it. I’m not so sure I could follow a paper map any more.

There’s a reason technology goes in a certain direction.

GPS is useful, providing you know your right from your left, unlike the last Uber driver I had. Good thing there was no meter.
