Spymama @ Mamakshop

I sent my car for servicing this morning. In this package, I received a new 2009 edition of the road map. The road map I have currently is the 2004 version. Yes, it’s been a while since I last bought the latest map of Singapore. Do I really need it? Perhaps I do since I get lost most of the time driving in this small island they called Little Red Dot. Since this map is free with the service package, I’ll take it. However, my map stays in the glove compartment, still in mint condition and will stay that way for the next years..

If I have the money, I would prefer to get one of those gps systems instead. Gadgets like that work better for me my brain is just not registering printed maps. A voice that directs me to my destination is more like it. I know there are many phones that has this application but the ones installed in the car looks bigger and more effective. My friend has one and it gives her the confidence to drive to far away places and not have to worry about reading road maps. No worrying about being late for any appointment too if you are a field salesperson.

So, why are they still printing road maps if these electronic ones are easier to use?
