Since the GPS technology has come on the view, people seem to have forgotten the traditional maps that I think are still considered the best solution for finding routes. The GPS or GPS-based devices informs you of your whereabouts, without telling what else is there, the maps, on the other hand, enables walkers the luxury of a across-the-board view, that is: ‘Putting flesh on the bones of a landscape.’
Though GPS is a potentially trustworthy and helpful navigational instrument but according to loads of walkers, this ultra-modern unit cannot be compared to the romance of having a look at a route that is laid out in front of a finder on an Ordnance Survey paper map or a guide. Technology has really brought about a change in our day to day lives but yet we feel a miss of the conventional touch.
