@jayrope well there is Yandex, Google Maps, and OpenStreetMaps/Maps.me that are used here in Armenia and Georgia and they all have a different set of data so if I am trying to look up a cafe or try to figure out what restaurants are near by that look good I have to try all three

@liaizon Ah, misunderstood you. I thought there were local providers. I can imagine, that Yandex works best there.

@liaizon In any cas, geat that you get to travel like this. I rfrencd th printed maps, because they might be easier to get in some local remote area. I've navigated half of the plant with those things, the drawback is the weight. Or ask a local, what they use.
