Before digital maps, road tripping was an exploration into the unknown. Unfolding like treasure maps, paper maps embodied the thrill of getting lost an integral part of the adventure. Google Maps, while undoubtedly efficient, has replaced the gut punch of taking that wrong turn, rerouting us away from the unexpected hidden gems. Now, in the era of instant gratification and digital navigation, the once-beloved art of road tripping has undergone a transformation, leaving us to question whether the convenience of Google Maps has inadvertently stripped away the soulful essence of the journey.
