"GPS" is a space-based radionavigation system, what does it stand for?
Correct answer: Global Positioning System

This is a great invention, but I'm of an age where I learnt to map read. GPS is brilliant, but you should always be aware of where it's taking you as it's not foolproof. I have 2 atlases on my car at all times.

One time we were lost in the country, GPS couldn’t find the way. A real paper map finally did the job. Technology is great— when it works. It’s always good to know basic skills for times when the “lights go out”.

I use this every day

I actually remember days before GPS was so prevalent. I still like actual maps☺

MissMochaLatte
I would be literly lost without GPS.

Dennis Holsonback
I myself use the system most everyday and love the idea. However, I did learn to read and use maps and do not rely totally on the GPS system as it's not foolproof.

Interesting. Now that I live in England, I call it SAT NAV, as they do here.

I had no idea it had been around for so long. Great information

Made our life more easy and lazy. We don’t think or memorize any more

susan, would fall off and blow away.

Raphus, I see that Red Sea Diver said that they kept their atlas on their car. Maybe they made a typo and meant in their car. otherwise, yea, the atlas woukd dall off and blow away. lol.

Troyce, I don't know about US schools teaching map reading. Haven't heard of it. I took a map reading class taught by The Sierra Club, here in US. I was an adult and it was in the 1990s.

RedSeaDiver69, superb.

I've never in my life used an actual map to get around. I doubt most people my age have! I'd love to learn but it's not very practical at this point — I'm not even sure where to get a map!! I think I'll take the advice of the other people on here and look into it. I do want to point out that it's interesting how the origins of many modern luxuries were the result of Military investments. Nuclear energy, GPS, satellites, duct tape, microwave, computers. Interesting!

Ukraniac, as a Architect studant, I totally agree that real papers are fundamental to locate in our Cities.

We are losing our ability to use our own organic computer called the Brain.

I'm glad I have it. Don't want to get lost

Oops. I knowbthe answer but hit the wrong button

Troyce
Scott, by using the 911 grid! I worked for a finance company and that is what we used!

Troyce
RedSeaDiver69, do they even teach kids how to read maps anymore?

Raphus
RedSeaDiver69, on your car !! do the atlases blow away when you drive off? I keep my atlases in my car

Gigi
RedSeaDiver69, good idea, you are right you never know

Lionessa
Technology should be a convenience, not a crutch. A calculator is quick & helpful, but I like having the skill to use pencil & paper if necessary.

Madi
RedSeaDiver69, nicely done ✅

Alpo
RedSeaDiver69, I also have an atlas in my vehicle because I will never forget when Google had me driving down a narrow one lane road in Arkansas where I had to cross a small Creek to get to my destination at night.
