Those of us of a certain age remember the AAA paper road maps and the hassle of unfolding and refolding them after every use. Or following directions that referred to landmarks like local pubs and corner stores. Perhaps, if you are younger, the first GPS systems were your “map” of choice.
At the time, those electronic mapping devices were considered amazing innovations that showed your location so you could get to your final destination without getting lost. They would keep track of where you were and where you’ve been.
