paper maps used to show unsealed roads as two lines. Sealed roads were solid lines.
Another advantage of paper was that the map could be left open next to you. Easy to pick up to check on where you are and how far to go. With Google you have to log in and wait.
And as far as GPS goes, I would like to tell about the time my sister and husband were approaching Mildura heading to Perth and they entered the destination for Border Town instead of Border Village. Suffice to say that going via north of Melbourne was not the shortest distance!
