GPS units lead to cognitive decline

Maybe we shouldn’t use GPS units on our bikes?

Or use orienteering as a way to cross train and still use our mapping bike computers

I thought that figuring out the directions was the easy part. If you could fold the map back up perfectly, THEN you knew you still had the cognitive skills intact.

Just turn right at least four times and you’ll be home, who needs GPS and maps :man_shrugging:

If you want to experience some mild ‘old man’ dominance, tell the u25 guy in your group that we’re heading West on the next turn. :joy:

I suppose its how you use it. My gps has allowed me to explore with the knowledge I could turn on the navigation if needed. Its also let me review afterwards.

Interesting. Having moved to a completely new area almost 2 years ago, GPS routing has been a huge benefit for exploring the new area and slowly building up the spatial knowledge of how the roads interconnect.
