I’m sure many of us remember pre-GPS days, when we had to plan our route using a map!

The only thing missing is Rod Serling to narrate what is going on…

Paper maps are superior to a GPS, because you can see the difference between a logging trail and an Interstate. Not so good for figuring out where you are.
