Excellent back roads maps, but I think Canada only.

I wouldn't trust an iPad mini or other electronic mapping system either, not since a friend of mine in Montreal was repeatedly sent into a brick wall that was supposed to be an overpass, or since Google maps sent me on a scenic tour of gravel roads in Quebec on the way to Maine.... or onto a left ramp when the desired ramp was clearly on the right (in New Hampshire this August).

Gotta apply commonsense to either option, I suppose.
