I'm planning a trip cycling around the Baltic (Eurovelo 10) this September. I've never actually done a long-distance touring trip by bicycle, and still in the process of finding the most suitable/reliable way to navigate. I don't mind using a paper map to navigate, but haven't so far been able to find much. So far, I think I might purchase an android phone and use a digital map to help me plan my routes for each day. But the only problem is that I'm not sure which system to use, etc etc (In terms of battery life, I was thinking of bringing a portable charger). I don't mind using google maps, as I found it can work offline, but I'm not sure how well it'll work long-distance, especially If I don't have a connection to internet for day to day route planning. I was wondering if anyone had any solutions or recommendations of what will work best? that you can pre-plan routes that gives you directions or easy to follow/ understand, and doesn't constantly rely on an internet connection. Or any general advice regarding navigation, thanks.
