On the other hand....
Graham Greene wrote a book titles "Journey without maps". This set me thinking how interesting it might be to bike say, to Istanbul from the UK without any map at all, and see what happened. This would replicate the way of the medieval traveller who had to ask often and hope that the directions were right. Of course, asking for directions to Turkey in France would not be helpful, as most of us know our local region only. I certainly couldnt tell anyone, even in a common language, how to get to a faraway country.
It would also bring us into closer contact with the people we meet, as we would need them more.
This concept would revolutionise how we travel. We'd need more time, for a start. If you excluded the use of a compass, then it really would be different....
