Yeah but then you would have to find where you are, find where you are going and make your own route. Quite time consuming if you walk or drive to lots of different places.

But yeah, the big advantage would be that I would actually know where I am. I think I've lost that feeling of knowing where things are in relation to other things.

You know... in 2003 you could get a GPS very easily?

Sure, it just cost more than a decent PC: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/reviews/garmin-streetpilot-2620-review/ Not many people I know actually had a GPS in their car before they had a smart phone.

Yeah I think people who weren't there has some weird perception of that time. Almost nobody had a GPS. People didn't know what it was even. It's only with mobile phones it has become common knowledge.
