Steel Ball
Has Google Maps ruined the art of the road trip? (weblogsinc)
Filed under: Stories, North America, United States, Transportation
I may not be old enough to remember the completion of the US Interstate system
(1980), but I'm at least old enough to remember what a paper map looks like.
I've felt the frustration of trying to solve the Rubik's Cube of it's original
folds, and have engaged in the heated front seat argument that inevitably
occurs when you realize the black line that crosses the Interstate doesn't
necessarily mean it actually _connects_ with the Interstate.
On my recent 3,600 mile "10 days, 10 states, 10 great American sights" road
trip, however, I never got lost once. No wrong turns, no hopelessly unfolded
maps, just a bouncing blue ball embedded in the GPS of my smartphone on a
little application commonly known as Google Maps.
This, many would argue, is a good thing. You get places faster, there are no
front seat arguments, and the unfathomably smart little device will lead you
directly to the gates of your hotel, National Park, or even the nearest coffee
shop. From this perspective, Google Maps is the best thing to ever happen to
the road trip.
