You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.

I recently bought physical maps. Trying to get off using GPS to get around. There was a study that was conducted that GPS affects the parts of the brains.

Physical maps don't have worry about batteries or internet connection or connection to the GPS satellites. A physical map keeps working until it has been destroyed.

Does it still count if you use a maps app in the same way, not necessarily utilizing the navigation feature of the app?

I learned how to read a map in the early 2000s when I delivered flowers on Mother's Day for some quick money as a teenager, right before GPS apps became ubiquitous. I can usually figure out a route simply by looking at the map in the app for a second or three to locate the major cross-streets.
