I remember printing out turn-by-turn directions from MapQuest lol
I remember MapQuest on dialup
That brings back some (mostly annoying) memories!
I recall wanting (and maybe using?) an option on MapQuest on dialup to choose how many of the turn-by-turn targeted maps to download, to save time and ink.
And I recall having to factor in dial-up map image download times and printer print-out times, into my total travel-time calculations.
Yes, I should have downloaded and printed the maps the night before, but my mother had a phone call with her mother.
I also remember MapQuest on dialup. Holy cow.
I did this as well. When it was new, it was freaking revolutionary.
Barely a decade prior to that, you'd have to call AAA, give them your itinerary, and they'd mail you a custom triptik for your journey. And it would cost. You can still get these, but why?
Good backup in case your phone shits the bed or you end up somewhere with no data
You can download your trip for offline use in google maps or Apple Maps. Or fall back to the gps of your car.
I really don’t see any point nowadays tbh.
Eh. I might consider this if I had a long and complex road trip. Last major trip I took (1000 miles) I stayed on interstates for about 90% of it.
I remember going to our AAA office to pick That up. Our agent would walk through the trip with us.
I'm remember reading those to my parents while they blamed me for us getting lost.
I used ViaMichelin
