A digital version of paper except you can zoom in and out, and there is a dot showing you where you are and which direction you are facing.
Look, I love paper maps and often carry one with me when travelling, but an offline version of google maps (or any other digital mapping product) is very different, with different strengths and weaknesses.
Also, try carrying a map of London in your pocket! Another key difference.
