I wonder how many youth can't do paper maps.
I'm in my 50s and I can't do paper maps. I can navigate just fine without Google maps but I navigate by landmarks while paper maps seem to rely on knowing road names, which I don't.
This is why numbered roads are better. 5th St? Guess what's coming next, 6th St!
Only works if your roads are built in a grid
That too. I actually didn't think of that because roads here aren't in a grid like ever so I failed to understand how numbering your roads would even make it easier.
It's because one road is indistinguishable from another while malls, towers and tall buildings in general are quite memorable.
