Maps will be useful but after EMPs and nuclear winter, consuming maps on a powered device will be impractical.

Paper maps will be far more practical.

First targets going down in a global war will be GPS, Galileo, Glonass, etc. so all those systems will go offline right away.

All power will go to water pumps, heating, air conditioning, mining, etc.

re: maps — I accumulated a lot if regional and national maps ( thank you AAA!!) but they do go out of date.

Major challenge with prepping is uninterrupted vigilance maintaining your supplies… which likely is an Amazon marketplace business in and of itself… lol.
