A World Without Google Maps

So often now we punch in the name of a place to our favorite map app and hit go. How much of a drastic change would that be to remove that from our lives for whatever reason. This is a bit of a history lesson combined with a breakdown of modern GPS devices and how they fill certain needs.

Here are the topics we cover:

  • Where did we come from?

There is quite the mindset switch for modern app users trying to use a GPS device. I'd love the opportunity to break it all down for y'all.
