Read a Road Map Day celebrates an essential component of civilization for the past 3,000 years. The first known road map is the Turin papyrus map showing the travel-friendly riverbeds near Thebes, Egypt, in 1160 BC.
GPS devices have replaced standard road maps in recent years, but map reading is essential for everyone. Maps are still used in books, can be drawn, and are critical in understanding historical events as they are often the only reference point. Plus, what happens if the GPS isn’t working? Can you find your way around old school? Most young people today cannot.
Take this opportunity to test your map reading skills and make sure you and your children still know how to read a map if it ever becomes necessary (like when traveling in many places overseas where GPS isn’t available). It is a skill that may save your life!
