Knowing where the nearest Kwik Trip can be a life-saving necessity, if you have to walk from a dead car. Planning winter trips on high-travelled roads (avoid backroads not only because they may not be plowed, but there may be nobody along if you have trouble).

Indeed, as a cyclist, I love the paved county roads that are still in tolerable condition but with virtually zero traffic. But that's certainly not a benefit if you get stuck somewhere out there. Also, the actual location of roads can become uncertain in poor visibility or if the snow is drifting.
