My V1 G2 has given me a heads up so many times I lost count. I’m mostly with traffic but do get the open road areas with very few cars to be ahead.
I used to use the Garmin GPS, but it’s REALLY old and maps are not updated. It's too small to accept the updates. I usually use WAZE on my phone now, possibly Google maps at times.
So many WAZE users and they plug in Police, accidents, cars on side of road, road debris. I use it everyday just going to work and coming home.
Like you, on longer trips, old school paper atlas makes the trip. Normally it’s in my car anyway in the trunk.
I got caught up in the “wrong area” when there were multiple “peaceful protests” shutting down roads/highways/bridges around Bridgeport CT. I was towing a trailer with the Pilot. Told my son to pull up Google map satellite view so he could zoom in and not get us stuck accordingly. Lots of industrial parks with dead ends and no turn arounds. Waze was no good, Atlas doesn’t cover the local side roads. He zoomed in on a route and we expedited the exit of the area.
I installed a USB power port on left side of dash and I use an i-Ottie windshield mount in low left that you can see pretty easy peripheral vision. Keeps my eyes on road instead of looking out of the way. A 1ft power cord reaches and keeps it charged.
No concealed display on my V1. It sits next to my mirror.
