[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has a flip phone with no navigation or tracking. He really likes it so I guess I am going to get some other type of tracking (like a Jiobit) as needed. I consider it a feature not a bug that he will need to learn to navigate on his own. [/quote]

Do the tools we used to navigate as young people even exist now?  I am not sure what navigating on his own would look like.  [/quote]

You can still buy city maps, and state maps. Most teens don’t need navigation to get around their city.  We managed fine without gps navigation.  I remember I would occasionally print out directions from mapquest at home before leaving. I imagine you can still do that from various websites[/quote]

I relied pretty heavily on a book of maps with an index in the back.  So you could look up a street name, and it would tell you to got page 72 square A4 or whatever.  It was pretty cool.  I just checked on Amazon, and don't see something like that for sale.

Yes, if you always decide far enough in advance where you're going that you can print out the directions at home, i guess that could work.  [/quote]
