Yeeeaaaah right!

.... and if one can't get cell tower access with their gizmos .... then what does the 20-something do?

It's all about backup, redundancy, being ready for anything anytime, and not having to depend upon (access to) a fragile and complex ground based infra-structure called "the cellular system". If it wasn't for our RV's extended range cell tower connection equipment, we couldn't get cell tower access in many of the places where we explore and camp in our RV .... even then we of course can't always connect up.

I'll take my satellite based Garmin navigator, it's built-in map database ... along with paper map atlases anytime - over assuming that a ground based umbilical-cord Internet is always going to be available.

Now ... satellite-access to the Internet system is a whole different deal -> and I'll bet that most 20-somethings haven't ever heard of that kind of Internet.

See this discussion thread for some idea of what I'm talking about:

My Good Sam Rand McNally GPS has a what's-at-the-exit feature. So far, it's worked well enough.
A couple years ago, I heard a 20-something say, "Books are the internet for old people." I still like the Foxfire hard copies.
EDIT: Whoops. I meant to post in the new thread.

Android "Interstate Exit Guide"

If you have an apple product the App iExit is great, I bet it is just like the book

Thank you for your question Tom and Mary. Unfortunately Exit now Guide is no longer being published. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
