It's not even about the older people.
How many people do you know under 60 that drive anywhere, even to the grocery store, WITHOUT using GPS/Waze/Etc.
Don't give me that "but traffic" bull squeeze, even in the north Atlanta suburbs.
I am 100% the opposite of most people with regards to driving. I only use Waze/etc when I absolutely have to. I pre-plan most of my trips where I know I'm going into an area I have never been, I look on Google maps on a tablet or computer prior to leaving and try my best to figure it out/remember it. I will punch the address into Waze before leaving, let it go through it's motions and turn it off when I start rolling; that way I can easily get back to it when needed.
I CANNOT stand to listen to the turn-by-turn directions.
I look down in to most cars today and you see some map screen on 99% of them at all times. Dam! You really need to be looking at that all the time!???
