So dig out that Thomas Guide and start carrying it around with you.

The only maps that are useful to me are Google Maps, and only because of zooming and street view and being able to enter an address and it goes right there. Normal maps are basically meaningless to me, I can't read them. Or more accurately, I can't figure out how they relate to the real world. Just meaningless lines to me.

Map reading is a skill. One that isn't that hard to learn, but rarely seems to be taught.

The Thomas guide actually has street lookup. And you can (once shown how) figure out approximately where the address is on the street (there are numbers on the map for that.

For that matter, if you can find the CD, if it's got a Mac version of the software, you could install that on your iBook.
