Paper maps
Hello, I am planning my first short bike trip, something around 3/5 days, and since I don't have a bike computer I was thinking of using paper maps, to save up on my phone's battery.
I thought of printing out screenshots of my route from komoot or something, but I was wondering, in case I had to modify my route, if it wouldn't be also good to have a full map of Portugal, where I will take the trip.
I would prefer gravel roads of secondary paths, as I would love to be as far as possible from cars. What should I look for? Do you recommend any ratio for the scaling of the map that is optimal for country and gravel roads?
