Hey, I know what that map is. I did orienteering two years in college.
Somewhere in the house is a Silva compass. I do not remember how many paces to 100m, and I'm sure it has changed in the last 40 years.
Navigation is better than it used to be, I bought the Silva not that many years ago because the GPS would say "Head South toward...", and I had no idea what direction south was.
I have an old Garmin in my bag, haven't used it in years, but I have had to use it in the last couple years. I should probably replace it with one that has lifetime maps. The last time I updated the map on this one I couldn't fit the entire US on the internal memory, and I think it would only accept a 2gb memory card, or something like that.
If you're in a spot with no cell service and want to start navigation to somewhere, android auto just isn't going to work. I still stop at rest areas and pick up paper maps every couple of years.
