Tips and Suggestions about Maps
Always carry a map
Yes, your smartphone has maps (Google Maps, and Waze), but when you go out into the South American hinterland, carry a printed map. They are reliable (while mobile phone signal may vanish in the vast wilderness).
GPS maps have gradually pushed printed maps into oblivion, but a good roadmap which you can buy at a service station beats a GPS hands down when you have no signal.
It is a good practice to read your map before setting out: check the locations of the towns, the distances, work out how much fuel you may need, see if the road is paved or unpaved (that will impact on your speed and your travel time).
See which tourist attractions are marked on your map so that you can stop and enjoy them.
I plot my trip on a map, with a highlighter, it gives you a nice feeling of accomplishment.
