I've been using a flip phone for many years. I don't have a smart phone.
One of the challenges is traveling and transportation, and the solution is mostly just planning ahead.
- If driving to an unfamiliar place, study the map beforehand and print (or write) directions and tape it to the dashboard. For any parts of the route that seem tricky, look at Google Maps' street-level images to prepare for reality. (After 1-2 trips, though, I can usually get there and back unaided.)
- If taking public transit, note down basic timing info and stop IDs. The 5-1-1 phone number is often really helpful has well.
- If traveling internationally, just plan ahead carefully. The specifics here will vary wildly by destination, but for example I went to Germany earlier this year with prepurchased train tickets and was able to get where I needed to go.
