I’m “map only” too. Thanks for the suggestion re OSM. I’m trying Maps.Me and first thing I did was set the labels to larger. Interestingly, when I went back to Google map to compare, those labels are now larger too! I don’t see anywhere to set that in Google maps, and no other apps appear to have changed scale. That’s kind of creepy.
My habit is to look at a map days or weeks before going somewhere unfamiliar, usually that’s plenty. If I get turned around on the day, I pull over and have a look at the map again for 30 seconds, done. My family has gotten used to it, agree it’s a valuable skill requiring maintenance, tolerate my occasional mistakes as an opportunity to see something unexpected, and even brag about me to their friends.
We do use Google maps when traveling for the local restaurant recommendations, though. That’s a value it really does add.
