Finding your way without a GPS

The inspiration for this design was a trip with my GPS. A long drive caused me to think back on the days when you would stop at a gas station and get a map for the location you were driving to.

The compass rose is a prime example of what life was like pre-GPS. It is a reminder of a time when “Here there be monsters” was acceptable on a map. It was not only a way to find your way by the stars but an anchor point to your worldview. You always knew where North was even if you didn’t know where you were.
