      but a street directory doesn't need internet or power. it just works, also if you can't navigate a map you shouldn't be using gps till you have learnt

      Don’t be silly. There wasn’t any streets in 2004. We all road horses on trails.

        Maps lets you download the whole city to work offline.
        And you need to mount the phone in a holder. Better than a paper map in your lap.

        • greenie4242 on 21/05/2024 - 06:25

          My mobile phone broke during my last bushwalk and my wife's phone couldn't lock onto GPS signals reliably because we were surrounded by tall trees. No mobile signal either.

          Luckily I brought along a paper map as backup, otherwise we'd have been stuck in the middle of nowhere with no GPS and no way of knowing which direction to head.

            @greenie4242: Paper map can also be useless in tall trees. Or if it rains. How did you determine location?
            Next time, take a proper GPS unit also. :)
            A phone is no substitute there. But in a car none of that applies.

    These books were only good for locating a particular address which can be done with any app. For route planning or just “getting your head around” the area there was too much page flipping and you were better with a simple fold out map of main roads.

  • digitalterrorist on 19/05/2024 - 20:01

    No bargain. It's been $35 for ages. I've been eyeing it off for a while to replace my 2009 one. So no deal until it's cheaper. As someone said, good as a backup, but not a $35 backup..😂

    • d3al on 20/05/2024 - 10:46

      Assuming you bought yours for $35 in 2009, that'd be $50.70 in today's money. So technically, this is a bargain. Another way to look at it would be that the $35 you spend today would've been worth $24.16 back in the day (2009).

      • macrocephalic on 20/05/2024 - 08:58

        I don't think you can even buy a phone that's not capable of maps in one form or other. With the shutdown of 3G network, anything more than about 6 years old won't work.

        For the boomers who dont have a smartphone

        It's not the boomers - it's the silent generation who's phones aren't large enough to read the tiny details on the map.
        Or maybe they just prefer the 'good old way'.

        I don't get the ongoing sniping at boomers here now - they are not the cause of all of the ills of the world, no matter how much the media love to spin it, and how much many here like to find an easy target for their supposedly humourous comments.

    You just popped the new Blink-182 CD in your mom’s car as she takes you to get the new Mario and Spider-Man games. You’re on your way to a sleep over with your mates and you’re sitting passenger side navigating with bargain price ‘ Sydney Blue Mountains Street Directory 2024 ’

    “With all this information included in the latest edition now is the ideal time to replace your old directory”. I threw my last directory out. Does this upgrade check for the existing media first??

    Zoomers know how to get from A to B with their fancy phones - they just have no idea where B is or was or in fact where TF they are - they just know that their machine will get them back to A again.

      Trust your GPS?

      85km location error

      Blue Mountains dead end

      In this case it probably would have helped with that Blue Mountains error.

      I believe too many people are blindly trusting whatever information is presented to them (this applies to news, forums, reviews etc as well as maps).

    • PainToad on 21/05/2024 - 08:49
