Having grew up in a military family, served myself, then drove a big rig for as long as my back would take it, I do know how to use a map, road atlas, a compass and protractor...If I'm going acrooss town to a new store, I look it up, sometimes using google street view also...I like to know where I'm going before I get there...
have seen roads on GPS units show roads that actually ended up going into lakes, rivers, and buildings...very funny in hind sight...not so funny at the moment.
