Jeez, how hard is it to consult a map before leaving on the trip. Can no one navigate in analog mode anymore?
I do use mine when in unfamiliar places. It’s tough to use a map if you’re driving alone, and I also like the fact that I can find a gas station or food or whatever easily. There’s nothing wrong with having one and using it. But one has to be sure who is in charge!
Even maps aren't to be trusted...maps of Vermont show roads that, in reality; are mere cow paths full of small boulders. That Vermont 'short cut' is a disaster in waiting for your vehicle...
