Even that was a massive technological improvement from the days prior, when you had to buy an entire book of your city, or part of the city if you lived in a large city, and then plot your own course, and write directions down, or follow a tiny map in the book as you drove.
I remember the first time I used MapQuest and I was absolutely amazed that it could just figure out the route automatically.
