Poor mans GPS: a paper map

By dutchclick | June 30th, 2007 | Category: navigation |

Dutch newcomer CosmicNavigation is not only coming up with new personal navigation devices, according to YourNav, but also with paper maps.

Cosmic Navigation president Jochem Kentgens explains that a gps and a paper map belong together:

People want to know where they are, and feel independent. A navigational system is limited to providing the quickest route from A to B. A paper map provides orientation as well as a feeling of independence to the people. So from now on, there are also paper maps available under the RoadNavigator brand. “GPS and paper maps don’t exclude each other,” says Kentgens. “They belong together!

To me this sounds like a poor mans gps, but I might be wrong…
