Driving around the country and you will notice that each city seems to have a different way of laying out their highways. Houston does it one way, and since that is where I live that is what I have gotten used to. But every time I travel to another city in the US, it might as well be another country, because if you’re not paying attention to the road and looking at your GPS (or map for those older than 45), you will end up missing your turn.
That is when the real fun begins, because you will have to wait for the GPS to recalculate your route, as you miss the next 75 ways to get you back on track. Never mind if you are in a place with limited cell service, because you will just be screwed, and hoping you don’t wander into “Deliverance” or the places of the country where cryptozoology is popular. Just go anywhere northeast of Houston on the way to Shreveport Louisiana, if you exit to go to the bathroom, you may never actually get to your destination. This is why having one of those old paper maps is helpful, you don’t need cell service for them work.
But while your trying to find your way back to your route, you’re not paying attention to the road, and if your lucky you won’t cause an accident. I have this feeling that almost all accidents are because of people getting lost and waiting for their GPS to recalculate. For this reason, I am suggesting that everyone do two things, go over your route before you even get in the car, and have a paper map (especially for long road trips).
