I don't use phones, so if I have to go somewhere, I have to memorise the route. I enjoy the exercise. I look up the directions on my laptop, mentally rehearse the points of interest that will indicate to me where I need to take particular turns, and then have to put into practice my memory with the actual physical landscape I tour as I follow this route. Sometimes I make mistakes, but correcting them is part of the exercise.
It seems very few people nowadays know how to follow a route, especially an unfamiliar one, without being tethered to their GPS.
- alienpingu 7mo agoIn my personal experience, when I take a wrong turn, it's impossible to find my way back. I understand if you're describing the route from one large city to another, but if you need to get to a specific street in even a medium-sized city, it's impossible to remember every turn the first time around. how old are you? How can you memorize a new route? Because i am born in the TomTom era and i had google maps on my first phone ( not smartphone ) but it have it
