Not to mention that most older folks can navigate in places they are semi-familiar without a need for a device at all. Most Gen Z drivers are basically incapable of conceptualizing a map of an area in their head and completely dependent on a device to tell them where to go.

People can change in all kinds of ways.
My mum used to be just fine with reading maps, but one of the early symptoms of her Alzheimer’s (before any of us recognised it as such) was that maps stopped making any sense to her.
My dad wrote some kind of software for the Plessy (subsequently Marconi) military IFF transponder projects, but after retirement it literally took him years to realise that the Google search results had a scroll bar and it wasn’t just three results.
(Unrelated, but are we millennials really going to bemoan gen-Z the way people bemoaned us when we were their ages?)
