Answer:
The author loves paper maps. He thinks they are irreplaceable and the while GPS is a good thing, it can never replace paper maps for him. He loves the experience of going to bookstores to find the maps for the countries he's going to visit, although he acknowledges that there are fewer of them and it's much more difficult to find them than before due to technology.
He loves the camaraderie aspect of the trip while using paper maps. This is what he states in his article:
<em>Using printed maps requires travelers to work together. You become a team. Driver and navigator. Your ability to get along and solve problems is tested in valuable, revealing ways. </em>
He also states that paper maps make you more aware of your surroundings, thus making the entire experience of traveling more enjoyable.
<em>Driving by map, on the other hand, engages you actively with your surroundings. It makes you observe road signs, be in the moment. And that closer engagement, I’ve found, imprints the landscape more vividly and permanently on your mind. When I return home, I can unfold my maps and take myself back to a town or a stretch of highway.</em>
As you can see, the man clearly loves his maps.
