No. 🙄 People down there aren't friendly with directions like they used to be. Nearly every hotel, motel and restaurant down there has Branson maps. For free.

Well I asked the dude at the Shell station/Convenience store, and the gal at the fly shop. Neither had one, and it wasn't serious enough to start going door to door like a Jehovah witness begging for one. I truly didn't need anything, I just like to know where things like grocery stores, auto parts stores, marina's, car washes, ect. are when I'm staying in an unfamiliar town for a week or so. I mean Piper was down there and needed a 25hp Merc prop.....Good thing ol'wrench was on his way.....cuz WTF else was he supposed to get one ? 😁 fshndoug 1
jdmidwest Posted November 9, 2021 Posted November 9, 2021 A few years back, I got tired of buying GPS units. I had bought 3 handheld outdoor units and one Tom Tom for the vehicle. I bought a $60 track phone that has Google Play Store, good internal gps chips, and micro sd expansion. I never activated the phone part, disabled all of that part. Downloaded a few apps with offline maps and made a nice little unit. SYGIC app for road travels and Earthmate for topos, aerials, and a backup road map. Works like a charm and good battery life. Music on it for the blue tooth speaker. But, I keep Delorme Atlas as a backup in the truck and Company Rig for navigation. Most areas I go, ATT does not provide enough signal to keep up.

I know pretty well how to now, but that day was uneasy. Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction.
