Navigating before Waze & Google Maps

[JimmyJet]

Found this gem in an old camera bag…. does anyone else remember sitting shotgun on road trips and navigating for dad before the advent of smart phones and GPS?

There's nothing better than getting paid to look out the window....

Especially at 30k ft

I traveled nation wide with an electrical outfit for 8 years (driving), all I ever had was a McNally's map book. Say what you want about cell phones but it's pretty nice to have a built-in map and GPS in your pocket. (That's what the government says anyways...LOL)

in the late 90's my wife and I did motorcycle touring. (my granny was a member of triple A and would get me plenty of maps.) Before breakfast we would pull the maps out-plan a route and place the piece of paper in the clear part of our tankbags. Lunch would find us routing to a campground couple hundred miles away. Still love and use maps...

I have to travel for work, and use gps for the convenience........that being said, I'm an old fart and love paper maps. I collect one from the welcome center everywhere I have to go.

As a kid I loved maps. After college graduation, pre cell phone, drove across country alone with just a RandMcNally. Today I doubt I could drive to work without Waze.
The dumbing down is real ..

I remember exactly when I learned that women can't read maps (it's something in their genes).
We where winding our way threw the mountains of North Carolina and Virginia on a road trip.
I had my hands full with driving so I turned map duties over to my wife.
After driving awhile we came across a sign "Welcome to Martinsville Virginia"...cool Martinsville, kept going.
Drove for another 1 1/2 hours under my wife's direction when we came across another sign that said..."Welcome to Martinsville Virginia ".
Never asked her to read a map again.

TRUTH! My sister-in-law could get lost in a paper bag….

Often times I muse to myself…."what did we EVER do and how did we survive without Google Maps?!"
