No, definitely not. Like I said before, I'm very bad at reading maps. So every time I use a paper map, it takes me a lot of time to figure out where I am. So I prefer to use the map on my smartphone because it helps me to follow my current location, and it will navigate me the shortest way to go to my destination. It's very helpful.
