Well...I missed that turn, and we spent almost two hours touring around Milan with a marginal map that simply showed the country of Italy, and not the city of Milan.

Like me, you probably spent two whole hours there, because you refused to ask for directions .. LOL

I'm a map guy who still doesn't use GPS. I do like Google Maps, though.

I am someone who thinks GPS gizmos in cars are a step backwards. When women see men get lost and try to figure out where they are, they go all feminist that our egos can't allow us to ask for help. But I see it entirely differently.

Getting lost when driving is something unexpected. It suddenly goes from a boring drive from point a to point b, to an adventure. It is now a puzzle, and the adventure part of our brains kicks in and wants to figure out the puzzle. We don't get many opportunities anymore to discover lost islands or new continents, or kill a grizzly bear with our bare hands. But every once in a while, we can get an adventure dropped into our lap where we are lost and have to get back. And then women want to immediately ruin it by asking directions.
