@brbposting@Taldan Reading a paper map and looking up directions before you drive and then remembering them are critical skills that should be on driving tests.
Having a maps app that shows directions and current position is pretty handy in new areas, especially if there is construction or heavy traffic to avoid.
Still have to check traffic even for short trips since I refuse to waste half an hour in a jam when looking for green/red roads would’ve taken seconds :) then appreciate traffic notifications along the way
Admittedly don’t do it with paper but have enjoyed learning roads - even played a game kinda, work to home (San Francisco) where I turned right on red for each red I got, forcing me to explore new places (no GPS)
How do you like to get to new places? Turn by turn audio? That mixed with on-screen directions?
If you like on screen, what is the ideal screen size?
12” widescreen is basically my minimum; >15” is ideal. I’d put a 24” in my car if I could.
Like a driving simulator :D

Agreed.

Makes me feel better doing that!
