    For all of the hotel stuff I have a binder organize for each day. I also put a printed map for general directions for that day too. I have a GPS that I program the route into for each day once the route gets posted by Hot Rod. I try to avoid using data on my iPhone because being from Canada, it can cost quite a bit even with a data roaming package.

    I also use hard copies of hotels and mapquest and have just started using GPS. That way when my other APP gets fed up with me I will have someone to talk to.

    We have the Rand McNally large scale road atlas. It is easier to read with larger print. Will also try their point to point mapping this year. All motel info and phone numbers are in a folder for easy access as needed.

    I use mapquest and print directions without Hwy and toll roads, if there are two routes I print both and put them in my trip binder. When We get the directions I check to see how close I came.
    I just follow the others in my group, lol. Honestly, I have maps and I can always use my OnStar in a pinch

    Me three Greg. I print a point to point map on Rand McNally. I also print a local directions map from the venue to the hotel on Rand McNally for every stop and pre-load all hotel addresses and venues in the GPS too. I still can get lost but not as often, hah!

    I like to be prepared. I make a folder for each car with directions, maps, venue location, reservation confirmations, license plate numbers, my bank number. But, I also have some great apps I use. My favorite one is for rest stops, it tells you how far away, bathrooms, vending machine sect. It's really handy when traveling with kids.
