I love maps!!! When my kids go on vacation they bring back maps for me. Maps of museums, of cities, of countries. I like knowing where I am. Taking directions blindly does not suit me, in life or on a GPS. Of course, I recognize the GPS can give traffic updates, etc. So, it is a useful adjunct.
The problem with maps today is, try buying a current one. They are often hard to find. It's a dying industry...current road maps.
As for spelling: mine has improved with spellcheck. I am a notoriously impatient person. I rush along with ideas and leave details behind. With spellcheck, I am reminded to 'check' my spelling, to pay attention to that detail. This has been a quite instructive experience.
And handwriting...oh, no, not me. Just dreadful. I tried writing something for the community, but these days, with cramping fingers, it just doesn't work. I do like to read that community, though. Something to be said for slowing down, and actually 'feeling' the words on a page.

Thank you very much @incublus and @comment reward.
You are welcome, keep up the good comments
I am so sorry I didn't keep my full collection of maps, used to love seeing places and imagine what they're going to be worth a stop! It is nice checking out reviews on Google maps before going, and not getting lost, but it takes away the sense of discovery!
Unfortunately as you say it is a dying industry. The last few years in my working life, I worked in our municipality's GIS department where we captured geographical features, so, maps are very important to me. The rate that street and place names change is no fun!
Thank heavens for spellcheck, I also used it to check.
I still need to handwritten something for that community.
Thank you for stopping by @agmoore .
