Before gps we were just driving around in circles.
Before GPS Ihad to print out maps and driving directions before I left and plan out the route to take. Deviating from the route was tough and required stopping and pulling out maps.
But somehow you made it. Probably 95 percent of the time, you already knew how to get there.
Eh, I do service calls all over the metro area. I probably know exactly how to get somewhere about 25 to 45% of the time. I have a general idea probably 50 to 70% of the time.
It is about the speed and ease of use. I bought an iPhone when they first came out as soon as I realized how much simpler it could make my life. I see my calendar with lists of calls and addresses to go to, it interfaces with the maps app to tell me how to get there. I can add my mileage information and expenses right into it. It greatly increased my productivity.
Key words are "Increased my productivity". Any new technology should be a help, not a hindrance. I don't upgrade or buy new things to work slower. The expectation is that it works better and helps increase productivity further.
The new Maps doesn't do that.
