I have used lower (pre) tech navigation, bought British Isles Ordinance Survey maps , Michelin, Kemmerly +Frey, etc.
Bought at Book shops ..

Stopped at town tourist information centers, even got a map of Poland from a fellow passenger on the Ferry from
Copenhagen while underway..

have a little ball shaped compass I clipped to the front of my bar bag..

& talked to the locals frequently ..

Here, we get a case sized Lot of maps of the Coast Bike Route and one of the state highlighting bike routes and services for cyclists

from ODOT.. (I expect most states also publish Maps)


Had been maintaining a supply on a Kiosk information board , with 1 copy open under a plastic , and more in a take one box

but after the use of that as a trash bin, then smashing the clear plastic map distribution box ,

the maps are @ the LBS, still free, but sticking to US101 on the western end of town they miss that .


How do you find places to camp, eat, ect. when you are in unfamiliar territory?
I look around when it seems a good time to stop, and I talk to the locals, having a pint with them helps.
