I use map almost every day which is necessary in my life. I could find any places where I want to go. So I can find a way home even if I am at any corner of the city.
I prefer to use domestic electric maps than made of maps. Because electric maps are not only more convenient to take and it also provide bus stations position and timetable. I can know how many times will the bus come as well.
I’ve been using electric maps for many years. When I had used google I thought I could see a different world online which is amazing because I can find more places and views than other domestic maps. When I am abroad, Google will be easier to use.
