I went to lots of estate sale auctions in the middle of nowhere and there was no GPS in the 80s So I had a giant Michigan county by county map book. It was about 18 inches by 18 inches and I would plot my course before I left home and I never got lost once. These idiots who deliver groceries from Walmart constantly have trouble finding my house and they have GPS. When I was young we used to say people like that couldn't find their ass with both hands and a flashlight and boy is that true now.

I was talking about old school maps at work. Girl says "yeah, mapquest was primitive." I say, "no, MAPS! Paper!"
She is smart but too young to remember having to find it on a map. I was taught to read maps starting at like age 6-7 because it was an important skill.
