Now that we have GPS, MapQuest, Google, and CitySearch?
do you still use the old fashioned Rand McNally maps, AAA Triptiks, and state map guides?
we are going on a family road trip and I think a map would be a good experience for the children to use while we drive.
I typically use both modern electronic/digital maps and traditional print maps. GPS is very convenient, but loss of signal during storms or being ‘out of range’ can be a pain, so a hard copy map is handy as a back up. Google, Yahoo, and MapQuest are nice, I really like the feature that shows nearby restaurants, etc.; but these maps can be incorrect. So; I’ll pick up a State map as a back up. I haven’t used a AAA TripTik for two years; these maps are fun, but they are huge…..I can access AAA online; and so I can now do an electronic TripTik.
Lena I think carrying and using print maps is a skill that should be encouraged! It might be fun if each kid who is traveling with you has his or her own map and maybe even a simple compass. The kids and the adults could ‘map out the route’, and maybe even make little notes on the maps. Older kids could even help figure out fuel consumption; how many miles per gallon you are getting (math skills!).
My husband and I have done “orienteering” courses/paths a couple of times; you use a map and compass to follow a trail and then record the time it took to finish. You all could plot an course and have the kids follow along with their maps and compasses.
Have fun.
