My passenger seat-back pocket was always stuffed with Rand McNally’s.

I wonder if kids today would even know to stop at a gas station for directions if they got lost.

Those gas stations used to have a map rack. One in my town next to a freeway had a laminated one on the wall behind the maps with a big arrow saying "You are here."

When people asked for directions the clerks just pointed.

Me and friends went from Italy to Spain about 13 years ago using paper maps we bought along the way. By that time it was already uncommon.

My wife did a cross country trip recently and picked up a rest stop map in every state. I think there was only one state that didn't have any available. They're pretty good maps before my kids colored and cut them up. I think they might be a few years out of date but close enough that if you know how to read a map and road signs you can figure out how to get wherever you're going
