    I am thinking of getting a tomtom. Tired of my phone trying to throw a fit when I disable location after I’ve figured out my way to my destination.

    So much of this advertising economy depends on it and we just give it away.

      Just learn how to navigate properly with a map. You know where you are (hopefully) and you look up where you’re going. Do your own routing, it’s not hard and once you’ve been doing it for awhile you’ll have instinctive routes you use to link different areas. No location permissions required.

      If you use navigation all the time you can become like my ex-wife. Lost without it, in her own city. Exercise your brain by finding your way around with landmarks and signage, I have never used navigation apps because I know my way across three provinces, and can navigate the major cities just based on my instinctive mental maps of them.

        I’m not about to downvote you, but, I seriously don’t miss paper maps.

        Every time there’s a new neighborhood somewhere you have no freaking clue where a road is because you need to go out and buy the latest paper map.

        I’ll just use open street map thanks.

          I’m not talking about paper maps, I use Google maps myself. I do like the feel of a paper map but they aren’t practical anymore for the reasons you mentioned.

          I even search for my destination and look at where I’m going.

          However I don’t use the navigation feature. Never seen the need. If I can’t find my way around the city without an AI holding my hand, I’ve got dementia.
