Reading maps gave you a view of the surrounding area and the bird's eye view of optional roads nearby. You can load up on the gaps in your knowledge and skip the rest of navigating.
GPS interuptions puts me on edge while I'm talking to passengers and changing lanes by muscle memory.
I can empathize with the younger generation struggling to point north, the UIs for GPS maps are surprisingly myopic.
- ToucanLoucan 3y agoI mean, "north" in the context of software that's taking you places is rather redundant. Does it really matter if your next left is taking you north, south, east or west? That being said, at least in Apple Maps, when you stop using the turn-by-turn and the map zooms out, it does auto-orient to North being "up." I'm not sure if Google Maps does the same but I see no reason it wouldn't.
