Wait, you actually had to hand someone a physical MapQuest stack of pages?

OMG @jake_torres68 that brings back nightmares lol. I still have flashbacks to watching my mom try to fold those giant paper maps in the car.

Man my advice is save the explanations for when they actually ask follow up questions, most of them just nod and move on. Keep it short and dont launch into the whole history lesson unless they seem genuinely curious.
