America Has a GPS Problem

Best educate your kids and peers on how this is all done old school.

I like nav apps, but can tell you my life impact without them is very minor league.

Priorities?

How about we end a war or two, fund GPS, do some space and make sure our future scientists, leaders, inventors and the parents raising them have a home, food to eat and are able to see the doctor.

No joke.

GPS or not, offline maps are available. Digital Thomas Guide. Although, I do miss flipping through that and trying to memorize the directions while planning a route.

Yes they are. However, the moment we start to talk about offline maps, the skills needed to use physical ones becomes relevant.

Doing that is not too hard. And paper does not have downtime.
