You should know where you’re going to begin with. I drove for 40+ years and never had one and always got to where I needed to be.
I use GPS now for a couple of things.. estimated time to destination, mileage estimates and occasionally to find a restaurant or gas station but I still know where the general area I’m going to and that’s where I drive.
Technology is nice to have but not required.
That is funny, considering how many seem to be addicted to smartphones and cannot function without them.
