I remember my parents planning long journeys using some piece of software (AA branded I think) that would print out all your turns, intersections and distance between them (in the late 90s).
In the mid 00s when I needed to navigate myself, I would plan it out on a map (Melways crew rise up!) and write myself prompts on paper in big writing with arrows so I could glance at it while driving.
Basically exactly like modern sat nav but without the live traffic.
Yeah, my wife and I had a gift membership through AAA in the 90s, and they had point-to- point maps that they assembled in a book to plan out our trip for our honeymoon. It was like a paper version of GPS maps.
The dark ages! I’m not really sure how we survived but we did.
