Time to dust off my old folded paper maps.
I can sell some of the duplicates I have. I'm gonna be RICH!
You can buy up to date ones at the gas station still
What a piece of crap, this thing didn't warn me about the bridge being closed and jammed up because of a car fire. Stupid paper...
Back to the basics: Start carrying a yellow pages book with you so that you can find addresses of various businesses. If you need restaurant descriptions, you need one of those tourist guide books too.
In my town restaurants come and go so fast the yellow pages are basically always obsolete.
Nah fuck that shit. If I have to, I’ll whip out the ole Garmin and upload the latest maps to that bitch and go.
Dude someone mentioned this the other day and I pretty mu h went all in on Garmin GPS since then.
I want to use comaps and organic maps and magic earth and all that but they just don't work well for me but the Garmin is on point.
Plus they say they don't sell your data. But even if that's a lie I bought it used off Craigslist so its "Johns" data now.
