minus-square@LesserAbe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink30•8 months agoHow widespread was this? I grew up in the 80s/90s and pre GPS we just had a map in the car. I’ve never heard of such a hotline until seeing this post.
minus-square@mycodesucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•8 months agoYeah, it sounds like the kind of thing you could do but would pay out the butt for as a private service. Road map books and asking directions were my go-to. Of course, post-internet but pre-GPS there was always mapquest.
