My answers:
1: When was the last time you used paper maps when driving? Probably in Iceland 3 years ago. I had GPS, but the paper map allowed us to look at a larger area.
2: What has been your experience with in-dash GPS systems? One of our two cars has this, it sometimes takes us the long way around. In 2024 we rented a car in France that had in-dash GPS, we dug around in the settings and changed her to speak English. I returned a French car speaking fluent English.
3: Do you print out maps before you travel? Sometimes, especially walking directions.
4: Do you rely on your phone for navigation? I have had the worst luck with this. I try not to look at my phone when driving. When walking I find it hard to tell what direction is ahead on my phone.
5: What is the most memorable wrong turn you have ever made? I missed a turn and ended up in France ten years ago, only for a couple of minutes. I made a wrong turn and was 15 minutes late for my parents funeral - my brother in law was 20 minutes late and he lived three miles away.

What is the most memorable wrong turn you have ever made? I don't recall where I was going, but when I first started going out in Philly, I made a wrong turn once, and ended up where I shouldn't be. A very bad part. I kept driving and ended up eventually at a huge dance club called Shampoo. I went back every Friday for the next 10 years!!!! What a great club that was!
