2. Driving directions are very important to keep a peace of
mind while behind the wheel.

3. If you do not know how to get to your destination, it can be
a very stressful experience.

where you are, you may end up driving more recklessly.

5. Thankfully technology has improved the way we get
driving directions, which has changed

6. Maps and atlases used to be the most common method for
finding your way around.

7. When driving, it would be dangerous to look up your
driving directions up and a map or atlas.

8. To safely do this, you would need to be stopped.

9. That is, unless you had a passenger in the vehicle to act as
a navigator.

10. Drivers would also need to keep in mind that maps get
outdated, and you will have to buy new maps that show the
latest additions to new roads and highways.

11. There are many websites online that allow you to look up
step by step driving directions.

12. You can plan your trip in advanced, and then choose the
specific route you want to take.

13. You can then print off these step by step instructions,
including a picture of the map with your route, and take
them with you.

14. Having these steps by step driving directions are very
convenient, but it is still a distraction to try and follow the
steps on a piece of paper while driving.

15. It is much better to study the driving directions in
advanced, that way you do not have to take your eyes off
the road.

they can still help to act as your navigator.

17. Cell phones and other GPS device have now become the
most common resource for driving directions.

18. You just need to know the address of your destination.

19. Many cell phones have an app that allows for navigation by
voice, which is hands free, and it allows drivers to always
stay focused and aware of your surroundings while driving.

20. Another advantage of using the voice by navigation feature
on cell phones is that it will notify you of the shortest and
quickest route possible.

21. Many of the apps on cell phones that provide the voice
navigation automatically update the maps with new roads
and highways.

22. Even if you miss a turn, most of these voice navigation
apps will reroute you to your destination, that way you
don’t have to stop and study a map.

23. We are no longer dependent on using maps and atlases for
our driving directions.

24. Now with newer technology like certain websites that
allow you to plan your route, and more recently GPS
devices and cell phones, allow you to get the latest maps
and driving directions more efficiently.

driving directions.
