I enjoyed looking at the big map of my state and calculating the approximate time we would either pass a city, or arrive at our destination. It was fun. I was pretty close too!
I used to do something similar on my trips back from college, calculate my ETA based on the mile markers and my speed. I was damn near dead on, too!
Hell yeah! I still do that on road trips to pass the time. Keeps things a bit interesting.
Here’s another one, I didn’t have a watch and only had a flip phone back in college, too. I got pretty good at estimating the time based on shadows thrown by poles or trees and north. I joked (and won one bet, at least) that I could tell the time to within a 10 minutes increments. I mean, that’s not super challenging, now that I think about it again, due to the hourly schedule you’re already on at college. But, hey, it’s one of those goofy and ridiculous things you joke with your friends about.
That’s pretty cool. Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode.
My parents used one of these to plan the vacations:

That’s really cool!
I have one of those. They're useful for measuring distances on topo maps where pretty much nothing is a straight line.
Yes, i used one for planning hikes.
