Here's a typical 1962 GPS System for cars in that day.

70. It's been my observation in recent years that people

who rely solely on GPS to get anywhere, often get lost or wind up taking a circuitous route to get there.

I don't have a smart phone, so no GPS for me. I rely on real maps, which I purchase or get from AAA anew every year or so. I also look at a map on line, usually googlemaps on my home computer, before I set out to a new place.

Some years back when I had a stand alone GPS in my car, I asked it to route me from Overland Park, KS (next to Kansas City, MO) to Tulsa, OK. It wanted me to to to Oklahoma City first. Look at a map and you'll see how stupid that was. I somehow could not delete that trip. Every time I got in the car it wanted me to head to OKC, so I eventually tossed it.

While I do understand the usefulness of a GPS, people really ought to look at an actual map once in a while.
