Decreasingly available roadmaps

mtbcI like to keep a local street map in the car. I have favored maps from Philip's as they show details well such as the structure of the lanes and ramps around intersections. I was hoping to buy a copy of their spiral-bound street atlas for Fife & Tayside which is where we do much of our driving. However, the latest edition is over four years old and has been out of print for some time with, the last I asked, no plans to print more.
Perhaps I should begin to favor some other publisher of maps. I wonder if this is a symptom of a greater problem though: satellite navigation (including the lady in my telephone) making paper maps less popular in general, less worth making and printing. That would be a shame.
