[quote=Anonymous][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.  [/quote]

"www.MapShop.com" sells a wide range of different paper travel maps.

In olden days, a company called ADC sold various map books for localities in VA/DC/MD.
