Travel & Location
Remember traveling before smartphone map apps? Breaking out travel maps, having to stop to reorient yourself on the road, and dreading coming off of a flight just to try and navigate a completely new area? Technology has alleviated this greatly, with apps such as Google Maps aiding in direct navigation and TripAdvisor helping you plan out the most important places to visit.
