You know, I detect a fair amount of disdain in your post. There is no need for that, and there is no need to assume someone "is unwilling to understand technology" because someone chooses to use something that has proven to be more reliable more often.

More than once I have had customers call me on their way to my office because their GPS "lost signal" or had them going to the wrong place or did not recognize the address.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using maps like I do for my local needs. Nothing. Doesn't mean I'm a technofailure.

Maps work no matter what the weather, they work no matter how the stars are positioned, they work if the car runs out of gas and if the battery dies simultaneously . Maps work *all the time.* Even in areas that are NOT geocoded, or not geocoded correctly.

Maps help me if I need to find something that I know the general area but not the exact location. I can usually find what I want on my LARGE MAP quicker than I can scrolling around on a little 4 inch screen.

Technology is great - but I embrace whatever is most practical for me in my area. No need to be snide.

My hubby is originally from St. Louis. I love going there to visit. The Zoo is beyond totally awesome.

As I said in my prior post. MAP 1.0 works well for me.
I am not a Ludite but the Map providers are ahead of the GPS providers at this point as far as reality is concerned.

My only complaint with the GPS I use is that sometimes it wants me to drive down an alley when there is a perfectly good street half a block away. I have it set at shortest distance.

I was in France a few weeks ago and rented a car with a built in GPS. The systems are updated 24 hours a day and show road construction and even show where there are traffic jams or accidents, then offer alternative routes. Now, if I could only read French...
