Usually, I prefer to use a paper map, not a map on my phone. Because with a paper map, you have the landscape right in front of your eyes and it's easier to find places compared to the map on my phone. However, the map on my phone is better when I'm unsure of my destination. Using directions like Google Maps can guide me to where I need to go, so I think that would be better.
