Jim- You’ve captured exactly reasons why I also still prefer paper maps when possible: instant birds-eye view. There’s something about the limitations of the phone screen size that just doesn’t translate the entirety of the geographical scope into memory. I think this is similar to why people sometimes also still prefer a book over kindle. It simply gives us a tangible point of reference to return to. Almost like a landmark during travel or mile marker at minimum. Love maps!
Thanks Thalia. Yes, and it also has very real practical advantages which are measurable. I will touch a bit more on the tech v manual or digital v analogue in the second part, shortly.
Really good read James. I have always had difficulty reading maps probably because I have difficulty telling left from right. Looking forward to part two.
Haha thank you G. I know a few females who have openly said that about left and right so there must be something worth a large and expensive university grant to study😁..
