Surely a man of your means can afford a sat nav and or a road atlas

He'll probably get a big piece of paper and some Crayola crayons and make his own map.

I use a MUCH older version of a Tom Tom and get by just fine when I need to use it. I've tried Garmin and prefer the Tom Toms.

I suppose you'd have to pull over on a bike for a map anywho.

Yeah, that's a little better, price wise. But it needs to be waterproof

Have you tried Rand McNally? You can print the turn-by-turn directions with maps for each step.

Waterproof is a good idea.
