    You looked at a map beforehand and saw what directions to go. The map book has an index in the back to find destinations.

    You often wrote a note for yourself beforehand. Rt 40, take exit 17a, take 97 S exit, Rt onto Brookshire,

    You didn’t need to know north.

    I drove for decades before gps. No one taught me how to use a map. You bought one and it was obvious because it was the same as any text book with an index in the back.

    You act like kids are stupid.

      Honestly, I suspect a lot of that kind of mentality is just projecting by people who struggled with something and assume everyone will struggle as well. Or people who just have a need to feel superior to other people by trying to gatekeep something by pretending it’s super difficult to learn/do.
