Bingo!

Mom and I used paper maps on our last big road trip. We only turned the GPS on occasionally, to verify where we were if there weren’t enough landmarks. We got there and back, and had a wonderful time.

A few times during the drive, we’d comment about people my age who couldn’t read a map to save their life. It’s a little disturbing how techno-dependent my generation has gotten!

I’ll use GPS but honestly find the voice prompts distracting while I’m driving. I usually study the route beforehand, and have it on with the sound turned off just in case. I guess I’m just too old-school, lol.
