I did that back in 2008 when i get into college of another state, where gps device is expensive to me and i’m still using the now ancient phone. the first thing i did is go to the book store and bought one local map, study and memorise it, looking for nearby landmark and triangulate my position when i’m lost. Young people should try doing this if possible, it’s a good exercise on navigation skill.

I remember teaching orienteering to my son’s scout troop.
When they complained that would never need to know that because GPS, I handed them a GPS with almost dead batteries during a hike and told them to show me.
About 10 minutes later they became much more interested in the map and compass.
