Whether it be a map or a GPS system or just someone yelling the directions to you, getting from point A to point B is very important. Especially if you're a busy person rushing to get to work or school or any other obligations you may have to attend.
I feel that we are so very lucky to have such modern technology to help us find our ways to our destinations. I personally don't know my way around the city or anywhere and without my little phone to help tell me exact which street to cross and where to turn, I don't think I would have ever been able to go anywhere. I would be completely lost. What I find even more interesting is, not only does the GPS system on my phone tell me where and when to go, there's a separate app called "transit" that helps me look for the nearest transportation and tells me exactly what time a bus or train will arrive to my location. It is so convenient because not only do I know where I am going but I am able to keep a schedule of when I will arrive to my destination and how long it will take me. This gives me much more time to either get ready or prepare anything I need to in advance.
There is another feature on my phone that helps me a lot as well. This feature allows me to send my current location to a friend or family member letting them know where I am so it becomes much easier for them to meet up with me. It also helps me feel safe knowing that others know my exact location.

Navigation is very important and without the modern technology today, I think it would be very difficult to navigate somewhere without directions. When driving somewhere once, I can't remember the directions again. I would need to drive to the same location repeated times in order to memorize the location when driving. The use of all the modern apps like Google maps and Waze does help navigating directions and thank god for those apps that help us get to our destination
