We have Sat nav and maps, oh prefers the former and I check on the map out of interest. Yes have looked up the streets where some ancestors lived, fascinating. |

Couldn't do without printed maps - being very deaf a satnav would be useless - and very dangerous if I were tempted to look at the screen when driving! And I like to look at maps to plan in advance - do print them from the computer sometimes. Always did like maps, had some lovely jigsaws with maps which were favourites |

I love old street maps, and have a few of where my ancestors lived. |

I love maps and can happily browse Ordnance Survey ones for ages, looking at old villages where ancestors lived. I've bought quite a few in charity shops over the years and enjoy noting changes between their times and present day.Many areas have changed very little and I think my ancestors would still recognise much of their villages. |

I have some old maps that I find useful. Some of the streets where my ancestors lived no longer exist, due to redevelopment. So I can see where those streets used to be. :-) |

I don't use a sat nav because I spent far too many years as a van driver without one and I love maps and road atlases. |

I love maps and can spend hours looking at them - UK maps and world atlases |
