    Kind of makes me want to go back to printing 6 page instructions to destinations that I hold in my right hand and read whilst driving with my left hand.

      You might want to do that anyway. You know, in case everything does get shut down. I know people who can’t navigate their own city without GPS for the life of them.

      Writing the directions down on a paper is still more convenient than taking out and unlocking ypur phone if a) you’re on a bike; b) if it is cold out and you don’t want to take off your gloves.

      I kind of did this with sticky notes on the dash during my last road trip. I was travelling through an area I knew would have poor reception at the time, so I made a bullet point list of the main road changes.

      It was kind of nice not having to check a screen for directions.
