    A gps is a paper map on the computer with the feature that shows your location on the map.

    There’s nothing to learn. The gps voice prompt takes the place of the passenger who’s job it was to voice prompt you.

      I don’t doubt they would be able to figure it out, but we must at least acknowledge it’s not plug-and-play. If one doesn’t know their way around, paper maps take some planning. The paper map won’t announce the next upcoming turn in 2 miles. It definitely takes some learning to use.

      I was curious to see if someone has ever documented this experience and I was rewarded with this video: https://youtu.be/sr9hQ_tDLP0
