Sometimes I'm glad that I'm old enough (38) to have lived a significant amount before the conveniences of the modern internet. The idea of getting around without online maps isn't strange to me and I have the skill from back when it was the only option. So when google maps starts getting too bullshitty it's easy for me to do without it. One time a few years ago a (younger) friend laughed at me for writing down directions on a piece of paper. But the piece of paper didn't have to be mounted, I didn't have to turn on a screen to use it, navigate to the right app, worry about the screen going off after not using it for a minute, etc. The piece of paper was the most usable option by far.
