How often do you use maps?
Nor very often. I guess maybe once or twice a month maybe.
What are the differences between paper and digital maps?
Some obvious differences are the size, ease of use, cost and the fact that digital maps get updated more often.
I think digital maps are easier to use, as long as you have a good connection to the internet.
But the biggest advantage of digital maps is that you can literally have them all on your phone, in your pocket, and take them everywhere you go.
Old-fashioned paper maps were difficult to use and if you needed a lot of them for traveling, they took up a lot of space.
Have you ever asked for directions from someone when you were visiting a place for the first time?
Yes, once or twice. Just last week I was driving in [name of place] and was trying to find a factory. I just asked one of the locals on the street and they pointed me in the right direction immediately. It was faster than even taking out my phone and looking at the map.
Is it a good idea to ask for directions? Why?
Sometimes, it is, yes. It can be faster than looking at a map, even a digital map.
Of course, it’s a good idea as long as the person you ask knows where the place you are trying to find is located. If they don’t really know or give you bad directions, then you can end up wasting a lot of time and getting frustrated.
But the last time I asked for directions, I was glad I did – it was easy.
