Maps app fail meant I spent the night with a super chatty couple on the John Muir Trail
My phone died so I used a bad map. Had to camp near them and got a full relationship history. Now I carry a paper guide.

Honestly paper maps can get you lost too, just quieter.

Wait, they gave you their full relationship history? That's the real nightmare right there (way worse than just being lost, honestly). You can find your way back to a trail, but you can't unhear all that personal stuff from strangers. A quiet wrong turn with a paper map sounds like a dream compared to that. I'd take being a little lost over being a trapped therapist any day. That experience would make me pack a paper map too, no question.
