Live by technology die by technology.
Realtor came by here the other day and I gave explicit verbal directions about turning at specific boulders and natural land marks.
I live in the boonies.
She got lost and I told her,I said do not use your GPS.
Dum shit did and got lost.
Directed our family back and forth across the US four times when I was a pre-teen...used paper maps, never got lost once. Maps still work, people.
Boonies here as well. And I’m always telling people not to use gps but follow my directions. Or I drive miles down off the mountain to pavement and have them follow me on in.
I had a problem with my map app during a road trip in 2014. Before I left Bellevue, Nebraska, I looked up my next hotel in Cheyenne by typing in the address and seeing where it took me. I ended up going to a deserted Wyoming ranch road about 10 miles or so west of town, and boy was it fun finding the hotel’s actual location, which was actually east of town.
Later on during my next road trip, I finally learned to locate my hotels by typing in their actual names (e.g., Ramada Inn Bangor) rather than their alleged addresses — duh.
