My family always went on holiday to Ireland so they had a map for it. When I was little I used to love opening that thing and picturing all the places we could go.
And you stuck to the main, very large highways instead of trying the smaller routes. I always wonder if the Waze era of travel has helped or hurt smaller communities.
Driving long distances to places you had never been before usually involved books of maps, pre-planning, a navigator, and help from strangers.

Great question.
One of the examples that comes to mind is from the SF Bay Area:
There has to be some coffee shop or antiques store somewhere that navigation apps have brought back from the brink though.
The good ol’ Road Atlas.
Also an excellent autism diagnosis tool.
No joke. My parents are convinced I’m autistic because I used to read the yellow pages (British phone book) to calm down when I was little.
I read the yellow pages to calm down one time when I was on acid.
Very Withnail and I
I still play the role of navigator to this day…
My wife tries, bless her spacially-challenged heart
