Really, I'm with those who love maps. If it hadn't been for touring in Europe alone, I probably wouldn't have bought a sat nav. But having one did give me much more confidence to do that.
What maps gave me in addition was more information that I wanted, like elevation, geographical features &c. I look at a map to find the mountain roads to explore. And I can see a greater area in detail at a glance, instead of having to fiddle with zooming in and out to get context, much of which is lost when you want to look at the wider picture on a sat nav.
Combining the two made things easy and more enjoyable, I found.
