I'll use my phone or paper maps depending on the situation.

- Backpacking for one night: Probably just phone (I use an app called Offline Topo Maps, works great).

- Backpacking for an extended amount of time: Paper

- Backpacking in winter/snow: Paper and Phone. (Only use the phone for when I'm not quite sure where I am)

- Motorcycle tour: Phone.

- Multiday rafting: Paper.

- Bicycle Tour: Phone and Paper.

- General Travel to a new place: Phone.

I feel as if one isn't necessarily better than the other, they both have their pros & cons for different activities.
