Dvorak Oct 2016 10:59am, 4 Oct 2016 12,259 posts	0 Dvorak Maps, lovely maps. Apparently, with satavs and apps people are losing the ability to read maps (just follow directions instead) and are losing their knowledge of where places are ( mind you, many people had no idea in the first place). I like to think that runners and cyclists would be somewhat immune to that. After the great GPS collapse, we'll be the only ones knowing where we are going.
