It's extremely convenient. I can't stress this enough. I remember navigating some cities in the country I grew up in with paper maps, hand drawn directions and lots of asking other people.
It was more frustrating than it was fun. Then came unlimited Internet and online maps I could print out. Then ubiquitous fast Internet, and smartphones with GPS and compasses! Built-in maps that will lead you straight where you need to go. No more asking for or giving painful directions, just use your navigator/phone/tablet!
Nowadays I can travel to almost anywhere in the world and find my way with just my phone! Amazing!
- Loughla 7y agoThat's exactly it. The technology is a burden in my life, with connectivity expected 24 hours a day. Except for travel. We are more likely to just point our motorcycles in a random direction and figure out where we're going later now that we have GPS in our pockets. It's like an absolute safety net for adventure!
