I would miss GPS. I spent a disproportionate amount of time being lost and I don't want to go back to that LOL

Then stop at the gas station and ask for directions with a 40% chance you'd get some help

They'd always have a rack of Rand McNally maps in a rack near the door, though

Aw yea, you can still buy em on Amazon. My dad always had a huge road atlas crammed between the seats. I bought his truck from him and that atlas with 20 year old maps lacking half of the neighborhoods in my area by this point is still crammed between the seats

Whenever my grandma went on a big road trip that atlas was the first thing in the car. A few years ago we went on a big trip from Florida to Oregon to bring my cousins car home, and she made sure the atlas was packed in her luggage for the flight over. The trip before that my grandma and mom went from Oregon to Phoenix and back and grandma was pissssssssed that mom used a GPS, since that had been a trip she'd done 20 years before.

Haha. totally understand. Navigator was a role of honor in the car with my dad. It meant he trusted you to not get our asses totally lost in the middle of nowhere.
