    Since maps aren't really sold much anymore, how do you travel in other cities without a map app on a cell phone?

    Tangential Info: I have terrible skills finding my way around a city without a map (even the one I live in), but I used to navigate just fine without a cell phone for decades. I just always kept maps with me. And in the places I lived in, you never wanted to wonder into the wrong neighborhoods or you might not come back out again, so knowing where you were was definitely necessary.

    Since maps aren't really sold much anymore

    Plenty on sale in the UK, in particular the excellent "landscape" ones by Ordnance Survey and the spiral bound city street maps by Geographers. Apart from that, my car has a built-in GPS based navigator, and the car is old enough (2006) that it does not report to anyone where I am going.
