How do you plan your trips? Close your eyes and say Hey Siri or Hey Google? Please say no to that!
When I first started out travelling around Australia 40 years ago, we didn’t do a lot of actual planning of our trips. We would pick a few tourist traps to see and places to stay but most of it was done on the hop. It was only if we had a specific destination of research or adventure. In those days navigation consisted of nothing more than an Australian Road Map, yes a paper one, which I still use and yes I use a compass. A what? yes a compass.
Now days there's the internet, instant maps straight on your phone, or on the touch screen of your vehicle on your tablet whilst you are travelling. But what happens when technology goes bang. And it does, but do you know how to navigate using a map.
Do you know how to use a map? and I don’t mean Siri or Google maps I mean a real paper map.
Do you know where to purchase maps?
Can you navigate?
Do you know how to find North East West and South?
Do you know how to use a compass, or a proper GPS?
Do you know how to actually read and understand a map?
Do you know what is latitude and longitude?
This week we look into navigation, so that you have the basic tools if you get lost, or hey the tools so you wont get lost - that is our aim.
Listen on Apple, Google, I Heart Radio and Spotify to The Road Less Travelled, made in Australia for Australians.
Get That bucket list underway!
