"Ditch the GPS. It's ruining your brain."

[Socalrob]

I used to navigate by Thomas Guide around town.  It’s a book of maps with pages, grids, and an index.  Look up the street name, it gives you a page and grid.  LA county is about 200 pages of maps.

I trained all kids and employees on how to use it.  Put the page and grid on all my maps.

It’s dead now.  To buy Thomas guides for 5 or 6 counties probably cost more than a simple GPS. 

GPS is great for around town on a bike.

I lived temporarily in Los Angeles during the early 80s and did moving and hauling part time. Never could have done it without the Thomas Guide. That was how you did it back then.

The riders says his Navi has no power and his cell phone is also empty. He's lost!!  Moo.

Well, quite, but I think that the point of the cartoon is that he is sitting right under 4 road signs that point in every direction, and yet he's STILL lost because he's forgotten what signs do ..... !

Someday we'll be chimps flying airplanes and will have forgotten how they're made ....
