We don't provide turn-by-turn whatsoever.
We provide maps, first, not GPS. You still gotta navigate your way through the trail, route, to a degree. |

Typical big business owner trying to deflect the fact that his business is bad for our health. Jake, I am just rattling your cage, no harm intended. I just thought it was interesting that relying on GPS turn-by-turn is having an actual, measurable, physical affect on us. I thought about this issue this past week. I flew into a town where I had never been before, and had only a starred location on my gmaps for the hotel and the meeting location. If GPS or my phone had gone out, I would have been pretty hard pressed to find my way.

Interesting article. I have a unique strategy for combatting this, which I have been using for years without realizing there was an issue. I set my destination in the GPS, and then ignore its instructions until I get close to the destination. Drives my wife, and the girl in the GPS nuts! LOL
There is probably a lot of truth to the article, though. Especially for kids in this generation. They rely way too much on their devices.
