Your GPS Fails – What do you do?

Depending on who you are, you may depend on technology a great deal or not much at all.

What about when it comes to driving around the country?  I know that when I go to unfamiliar places I always need a GPS device…I am not good with all the motorways or A roads, yet many people I know, just get in the car and drive!

Gizmodo have published an article that poses an amusing yet realistic scenario.

They ask :

Have you ever considered a backup plan for your GPS if it happens to fail in a city you’re not familiar with? If you said "another GPS", you get a gold star. But what if you’re not rich?

Those who don’t have money for two GPSs in the same car will need a map. Yes, a map. The kind you get from AAA for free (if you’re a member). Jalopnik’s got a set of instructions to teach (or refresh) your map reading skills so you can get back on the road
