I like technology but I really like paper or in the case of Rubel, plastic maps. The Rubels are pretty old now but I still use them a lot. For route books I like Tom Catalini's Road Biking Massachusetts, Paul Thomas' Best Bike Rides in New England (actually the 2nd edition has a couple of nice routes not in the current 4th). It also might be worth checking out Marion Gorham'sBicycling the Pioneer Valley and Beyond, Howard Stones Short bikes rides in Western MA, The Lisnof's Biking in Paradise or AM Cantele's Backroad Bicycling in Western MA...
