I’m not, but I did try for a few months. I was tired of not knowing where things were or how to get to places. Some countries don’t allow American apps to work with the same functionality because they want to protect local corporations (Google Maps in Korea doesn’t work well). Locals aren’t always kind and will occasionally try to take advantage of you. I decided it wasn’t for me when a Thai taxi driver saw that I used a cane to walk and tried to charge me without turning the meter on.

Yep Taxi drivers in certain countries are notorious for trying to take advantage of non-locals.
