By the time I started driving, we already had gps, but I do remember my dad pulling those folder or foldable maps when driving somewhere for the first time. His advice on how to read these things was “Look for the river crossings. It usually doesn’t matter much which road you take, you will always end up at the same crossings.”
And this is why, when planning a road trip in the pre-waze days, I would always check the river crossings first and when is a low traffic time to cross them, because you don’t want to be stuck for 2 hours because an ungodly amount of drivers need to be squeezed through a narrow tunnel.
But nowadays it’s hardly relevant anymore, only to make sure you don’t take too long of a lunch/dinner break or get stuck in said situation.
I have nerve damage in my hands. I use a lot of voice dict ation and the default has curse word censored. I don’t care enough to change it.
Frankly it’s shocking to me that so many people on Lemmy first off don’t know this and second off care so very much that they have to bring it up whenever it happens.
But either way thank you for your copious amounts of ableism on this fine day. I needed that jolt to wake me up.
I used to use paper maps all the time, but I’ve never seen this thing before. Pretty cool.

That looks a lot nicer than the big foldable pieces of s*** that we all had.
The most common ones were books that you’d flip east/west through, or skip to the indicated page for north/south, right?
You talking about a MAPSCO?
Man I’m sure it was something like that. Honestly at this point I mostly remember what MapQuest looked like if we wanted to go old school.
You are literally posting in a community with the word shit in the name.
SHIT
Now your turn.
