You don't need GPS to navigate, but without one you'll want to own a decent map.
Before GPS people just carried paper maps in their cars. It's harder to find paper maps at a gas station now, but if you're preparing for a long road trip, it's not a terrible idea to just bring along a paper map to start with.
- Jach 7y agoThere was also an intermediate period between everyone using paper maps and everyone using GPS. I didn't get my first phone until I was 23, before that for trips I just printed out the google maps directions and some map screenshots of nearby areas to the destination or stops along the way. Usually didn't even need that because the US interstate system is well labeled with road signs. These days I like an online maps navigation just to tell me about upcoming slowdowns or better routes, find the cheapest gas stations, etc.
