Okay, hivemind, here's a bit of a poser. Where would I go about finding paper street #maps for an area? I'd like to know where I'm going in my Duesenberg Special...
Seriously, having a paper backup in the car for possible can't-reach-the-internet situations seems like a very low cost, no-risk solution. And let's say there are some doubts which have arisen as of late concerning information infrastructure.
ADC used to have maps for all the counties in the area, and I had a huge passel of them in the car, but that seems to have gone the way of the dodo.
Downloading what I'm likely to need onto a device is another way, but a larger form factor might be more useful.

EDITED TO ADD: Go ahead and send this around for visibility. If I hit upon something, I'll cancel the boost request. -
I missed this from 404 media a couple weeks ago.
Mini internet box that comes preloaded with offline backups of #Wikipedia, #streetMaps, survivalist information, 90,000 WikiHow guides, iFixit repair guides, government website backups (including FEMA guides and National Institutes of Health backups), TED Talks about farming and survivalism, 60,000 ebooks and various other content being sold.
"It’s part external hard drive, part local hotspot antenna—the box runs on a Raspberry Pi that allows up to 20 devices to connect to it over wifi or wired connections, and can store and run additional content that users store on it. It doesn't store a lot of content (either 256GB or 512GB), but what makes it different from buying any external hard drive is that it comes preloaded with..." offline backups of some of the content that is being deleted or altered by Trump Administration.
Also includes
Khan Academy Lite, an Interactive lessons and videos on Math, History, Biology, Computer Programming and moreMedical Pack, Wiki Med, National Library of Medicine, Military Medicine Guide
Project Guttenberg 60,000 e-books
The costs range from $200 to $350, with the latter having an offline AI chatbot included.

Zainspirowany artykulem, ktory wklejam ponizej, postanowilem sprawdzic #MapyBing i... szczeka mi opadla 😲 Zdjecia satelitarne Katowic z 2022, podczas gdy #Google dalej opiera sie chyba na wspomnianym w artykule 2018... Przy najblizszej okazji zobacze jak wyglada porownanie nawigacji - chociaz na pewno Microsoftowi brakuje odpowiednika #StreetMaps - jako ♿ mega czesto z tej funkcji korzystam
Najpierw #BingAI, teraz to - oj #Google, Google - jak tak dalej pojdzie to zostaniecie w ogonie 😜

Grab is also OpenStreetMap's largest SE Asia contributor.
"Singapore's Uber equivalent, Grab, has decided to offer its homegrown maps as a service and asserts it will offer faster and more accurate spatial services than the likes of Google and HERE Technologies.
[...]
Grab used open source OpenStreetMap (OSM) and to date is the largest contributor to the project in Southeast Asia."https://www.theregister.com/2022/06/09/grab_maps_as_a_service/
