Recently started using a LightPhone II when out of the house, and I found the article captured my current experience pretty well. It’s not so bad to be bored sometimes.
Recently started using a LightPhone II when out of the house, and I found the article captured my current experience pretty well. It’s not so bad to be bored sometimes.
I used paper maps before internet and smart phones, I used to have a better sense of where I was . I bought a local map recently as well as a good compass, the compass just to get oriented in which direction things are.
I feel more connected and grounded than when using Google maps.
Surprises are part of this path but that’s true of any adventure.
Paper maps -> printed map quest directions -> early GPS device -> Google maps with live updates.
Used them all.
Towns and Cities with numbered streets and avenues are super easy with regular maps.
Trying to find ANYTHING in a city of only named streets requires a huge amount of memorizing without search.
