Google Maps finally destroys physical Street Directories
41The once essential Australian street directory is now facing extinction! With the rise of GPS navigation, Google Maps, and smartphones, these iconic road maps are becoming a thing of the past. But what does this mean for drivers, history lovers, and collectors? What does it mean for Street Directories in other countries, in Europe and North America?
In this video, we explore:
📍 The rise and fall of Gregory's and UBD street directories
📍 How digital maps took over traditional paper navigation
📍 Why some people still swear by old-school printed maps
📍 The nostalgic charm of flipping through a physical street guide
💬 Do YOU still own a street directory? Or have you fully switched to Google Maps and Apple Maps? Let us know in the comments!
