driving map

Route planning sheet

A driving map is a map designed for motorists, showing roads, highways, distances, and features relevant to travel by car.

Unlike topographic or hiking maps, driving maps emphasize route planning and navigation: We picked up a driving map at the gas station.

The term persists even as paper maps give way to GPS navigation.
