Driving long distances to places you had never been before usually involved books of maps, pre-planning, a navigator, and help from strangers.

My family always went on holiday to Ireland so they had a map for it. When I was little I used to love opening that thing and picturing all the places we could go.

The good ol' Road Atlas.

Also an excellent autism diagnosis tool.

No joke. My parents are convinced I'm autistic because I used to read the yellow pages (British phone book) to calm down when I was little.

And you stuck to the main, very large highways instead of trying the smaller routes. I always wonder if the Waze era of travel has helped or hurt smaller communities.

Great question.

One of the examples that comes to mind is from the SF Bay Area:

Los Gatos residents say Google's Waze app causing gridlock, blocking only wildfire escape route

There has to be some coffee shop or antiques store somewhere that navigation apps have brought back from the brink though.

I still play the role of navigator to this day…
