    “exercise your brain” lol. Another way to look at it is using precious brain power that could be used on other things. Also, it’s cringe to take pride in being able to navigate without a map. It’s useless knowledge in most cases. We all have phones.

      Other things like what, driving the car? Chatting with your passengers? Orienting your cheeseburger properly? Hopefully you can handle all of these at once and still not miss your turn.

      Are you so inept in your life that you need your phone to tell you where you’re going?

      Where I live the roads have no names and the cell coverage is marginal. Some roads are flooded, some covered with snowdrifts… Some haven’t been passable for years. I don’t know a single person who uses the navigation features of their smartphone.

      Until you don’t. Battery dies. Phone get stolen. During an emergency if you struggle to navigate that’s embarrassing.
