Haha , wow that is funny about Yellow Submarine. I do know that the Beatle who wrote it was trying to make it sort of a kids song so he kept the lyrics simple and easy to remember. I used to do cable modem installs across several cities back during the flip phone days. I had a map that had one city on one side and the other city on the back. I wore out several of those. When I was a kid we used to get trip tiks from AAA before we headed out on long trips. I use GPS today, but I still usually look at a map ahead of time so I have a general idea of where I am going.

remember the gigantic road atlas books they sold at truck stops? Those had to be updated every year and they were often very high quality paper or if you really splashed out, laminated pages.
I was one of those people that would turn the stereo down when we got close to a turn so i would be able to hear the turn coming up too.
Haha yes, my parents still have those map books. I used to spend so much time looking at each state. Turning the radio down is a must. Concentration is key!
my parents travel by RV for leisure and while they do not need it, they mark their paths on a giant road atlas with a highligher just so they can see all the places they have been. Obviously the GPS is a much better way of getting around because it updates road changes but they are nostalgic and there is nothing at all wrong with that
Nothing wrong at all!
