I’m still not sure how i found anything before gps was a thing. I remember getting my licence and my first trip with a friend. He printed out like 20 pages of google maps. He sat next to me and went through it like a person wo went mad on the nautilus. Halfway through it, he threw it all on the backseat and only kept the last page and said: "we’re looking for some place that sounds like hitler and then 15 min later we go left and there is a house with a dragon in the yard.

We never took a wrong turn on the whole trip. Same at work, i would get a bad printout of a city block where i wasn’t even sure where it was. And somehow after driving around in circles for a bit i would always magically find it.
