Interesting implications, perhaps the global positioning system is not as infallible as we thought

    To be more specific, I wonder how many people rely on GPS turn-by-turn navigation, vs being able to read and navigate by a map be it a paper map or electronic map (without ‘my location’ or other GPS functionality.)

      It’s not that people just don’t have the ability to use paper maps, that can be solved relatively quickly, it’s that nowadays we’re used to departing for somewhere without looking up the route, it’s faster than it used to be; if we have to go back, that’s something we’ll lose.
