Yeah gps is handy, and frustrating. But it does save alot of time in my work, trying to get good directions has always been dubious. Thats one thing i didnt consider:/ But perhaps they still make gps units.

My dad taught me how to read a map and write down directions when i was 16, long ago lol. I imagine we're a dying breed

I can't read a map to save my life (figuratively and literally, haha.) By the way, I haven't read it, but if you're on Substack, I stumbled across somebody named August Lamm who has written about giving up her Smart phone for a "dumb phone." Here's one essay: https://augustlamm.substack.com/p/you-dont-need-a-smartphone The first lengthy comment under her essay is excellent on why this person went from a flip phone back to a smart phone -- reluctantly, but realized it actually is hard to navigate in a world that expects you to have one.
