    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.

          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.
