I wouldn’t have survived either. I barely survived the Map Quest era. One wrong turn or a detour and I was fucked.
I remember 15 years ago navigating for my dad to get him through Montreal using only one of those horrible paper maps. It was awful.
Today Google maps navigated me from the middle of nowhere Vermont (which is pretty much the entire state) all the way home across country and provincial borders no problem.
I’ve enough with this one
(It works conected to the odometer)
Also as “Smartwatch”
To avoid construction and traffic jams, they listened to the radio with the news of local traffic.

In my defense, I use it not because I don’t know how to get where I need to go, but because it shows real time traffic info that could help me find another route to avoid said traffic rather than being stuck in that traffic. Driving through local roads to get to work sucks because sometimes it’s fine but other times there are accidents or roadwork that causes backups.
