Who uses maps anymore?

It's not just you. I went to a function in Massachusetts, and the host was shocked I found it without GPS. He said how did you manage that? I looked at a map before I left home. I thought he would faint.

Personal observation suggests that a significant number of drivers are content to enter the destination name or post code and slavishly follow GPS instructions, without briefing themselves on the potential route beforehand.
'Get in and go' seems to be their motto.

I know my way around this area, but lately have started using Google maps to give me directions for any trip over an expected 15 minutes or so. Traffic backups are common enough here that Google will find me faster routes than the ones I know.
