    I'm assuming since you are looking for paper in 2020, you are not looking for simple directions (i.e. GPS) but rather since sort of cool things to see and do + advice book?

    Something like this: https://en.aventurenordique.com/gt-road-atlas-finland.html ?

    I would assume you can get one in any large bookstore, and possibly some gas stations, or at least they will be able to point you in the right direction. Price will probably be the same as indicated on that site.

    Not sure about Finland but Sweden is decently google mapped. At least in densely populated areas. My favorite pizza place, 20 years ago. When I lived there.

    My guess is that Finland should be pretty well covered, as well.

    In the UK, rural areas have cell service dead zones. I assume that Finland would as well since it has some very remote areas. Good to have a paper atlas.

    Finland actually has almost no cellular dead zones. I know this because a Finish remote sensor station company tried to break into the Canadian market and was surprised that anyone would use satellite modem connections for remote locations.

    The paper atlas is more for the tourist part of the trip. It is something tactile to connect to the memories and photos (enhanced by use), goes well on the bookshelf, and is a great prop when talking about the trip with others afterwards in a way that digital doesn't quite work.

    That's what downloaded maps on your phone are for.

    Historically I’ve had a lot of success finding cheap road atlases in second hand bookstores. It requires you to be in the country, though, so hard to prepare for in advance.

    If you're just looking for a roadatlas and nothing else I'd recommend buying Michelins fold-out atlases.
    They have one for Finland+Scandinavia (map 711) or you can buy separate ones for Sweden(Map 753) and Finland(map 754) at a slightly higher resolution.

    I've included the map numbers, because that's the easiest way to search for them if you want to buy them from somewhere else.

    For a simple fold out map, can't go wrong with the michelin maps or guide. Saw us through many a holiday. Would very much trigger the nostalgic response in me, at least. Well updated and pretty cheap - although the simplest way to get a road atlas would probably be in a tourist-souvenir shop or gas station in finland, if probably pricier.

    Caedwyr, are you in Canada? I've had surprising luck finding fold out maps at CAA locations.
