I'm almost 50 and I never remembered my way anyplace pre map apps. I'd far rather be navigated for.

I drove for a little while before gps was a thing, and I'm so glad to have it.

I used to buy a road atlas every few years, and for a while took advantage of my dad's AAA membership (they'd give you free maps)- at one time I had a map of every state (except Alaska and Hawaii) plus a number of cities...
