False dichotomy: I'll still happily grab a paper map to this day if given the option, but I've never paid for one.

Every paper map I've ever used has been either a state highway map given for free at the state welcome center on the side of the freeway, or a state/national park hiking trail map given for free at the visitor center or ranger station.

Maps were always free. My family even had AAA so we could get those fancy Trip-Tiks.

That's a good point. I'll use paper maps for, say, park trails all the time.
