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.
