In all honesty, I'd mostly prefer a paper OS map to all alternatives all other things being equal(weather/space/etc). My comment was largely from a place of love, it is the only reason I've used enough to be annoyed about the splitting or needing to carry an armful for an afternoon cycle ride.

This thread did teach me that there are a few more usable print options for sale on the OS website too, which is great.

> it seems they still do teach map reading.

That pleases me. I'm strongly of the opinion we should be teaching to the available tools(phone maps/calculators/etc), but with enough preliminary knowledge to understand implications and judge validity.
