Paper maps are still around and useful for those who spend a lot of time visiting new areas and going on adventures. Paper maps can be life savers in some situations, but they have their limitations too. For starters, you can’t really interact with paper maps. Besides, you can’t buy 3D paper maps. That’s where your iPhone comes into play. There are plenty of 3D map apps available for iPhone that can help you explore your surroundings more effectively and find your way around using your phone without too much fuss.
