I love maps, old and new, and often look up places on Google Earth or on maps and atlases, usually when something in a book or on TV or internet has piqued my interest. Tend to navigate with maps too as we don't have SatNav in the car (OH hates it too) - we use the smartphone if we need it for finding a specific road/address. |

Meant to say that I too like looking at the areas where my relatives came from especially as my Dad's side came from some distance from where he spent his married life. |

I thought it was a man's thing to stare at maps for ages. You must all have been in the Territorial Army, like me :-D :-D All that square bashing, cleaning rifles and reading maps. |

We dont have a sat nav and I prefer looking at maps. I have googled all my rellies adresses and some in the north are still there like the house where my grandmother was born in 1910! |
