I’ve got a big ol atlas because I read somewhere that over-relying on google maps messes up your ability to function without it.
I think there’s no way that’s actually true. Google maps helps me arrive somewhere for the first time, but after a small number of times I can drive most places without looking at it. I’ll still use it, because “go another route because there is a huge traffic jam following an unannounced pothole filling or car accident” isn’t a possible skill to learn. Also Google maps is fucking glitchy, you still need to read signs and know where you are anyways, otherwise you’re missing turns 25% of the time.
