Yes. I did enjoy printing those mapquests. My wife and I got into a very embarrassing to talk about argument while driving a few weeks back. It was all about her insisting that we use the iphone gps, and me insisting that I knew where I was going.

DId you get lost? When I go out with my friends, sometimes my mapquest papers are on the seat. They always ask me what they are and give me the wtf face.

I am impressed. Even I gave up mapquest probably 8 years ago. I do know one other person who still does it.

Mapquest usually gives accurate results. Plus if you zoom in enough on the map, you can see alternate routes just in case. Its never let me down. I also remember when gps was too expensive to have on your phone, so people bought garmins for their car.

Oh, I forgot to answer your question. No, I didn't get lost. My wife insisted on using the GPS, then entered the wrong address. It's still a sore subject 😀

haha GPS does that. What I dont like about gps is that sometimes it doesnt give you the turns and everything fast enough. If you take a turn and need to get in a certain lane, its kind of slow at telling you.

I have that problem too. You can't just listen. You seem to also need to watch the screen.

Right. I always felt the garmin gps systems worked better. And didnt drain your phone of battery and data. Especially when you are going on a trip, I would rather have paper directions than drain my battery in case I need it in an emergency.
