Re: maps and non use of maps. old technique of looking out the car window for locatio
Firstly, I have travelled th US a lot. Always by truck, and I have not once ever been lost. Oh, don't get me wrong I have made wrong turns and ended up in places I did not mean to. But, never lost only, cause I never really cared. Although my wife would say I was lost.
I am 38 and totally a map guy. Although, I am extremely un-technological. That being said I am good with directions. If I go somewhere one time, I can typically get there again. I find it frustrating when people are bad with directions.
A good friend passed away a couple of years ago, he travelled the States setting up service centers for Southern States Co-op. His wife gave me all of his detailed road maps in a travel bag. Sometimes I get them out on the coffe table and look at them.
It also seems like that GPS technology is one other way we have found to not communicate.
Address please-GPS-look at phone
Used to be, "remember where that orange barn was, go left up past the spring then where that gas station was turn right, second house on the left after old man Winninghams silo." I can remember that stuff
