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

I would be literly lost without GPS.

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.

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

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.

Ukraniac, so true

RedSeaDiver69, They can be very helpful but if something goes wrong then uh oh. Very smart to have an atlas or 2 in your car. You are smart...
