Importance of Road Maps in San Francisco
Maps serve a variety of different purposes. They look nice hanging from a wall. They give us a sense of our place in this world. Most importantly they give us direction. Whether we are flying across the world or driving down the street, for many of us getting lost is inevitable. Since I am one of those people who will get lost driving someplace they’ve been a hundred times before, I do my best to keep road maps in my car at all times. Even if you are great at directions there is one place that you always want to keep that road map handy, and that is in San Francisco.
San Francisco is one of the oldest cities on the west coast. It has a great history that includes surviving a great fire and an earthquake. There are few cities that have as much character and culture as San Francisco.
When visiting this great city there are several points of interest that you are not going to want to miss. From Alcatraz to Sears Tower, Lombard Street to Haight Ashbury. Unfortunately many of these places are not in the same general location. Walking and taking public transportation are the preferred methods of transportation here so it is a good idea to stick a small street map in your pocket. The last thing you want to do when you are walking is get lost and have to retrace your steps. Although if you do decide to drive, you will want to be certain you know where you are going before you attempt to navigate the crowded streets.
Anytime you are in a city that is unfamiliar to you, it is a good idea to bring a map. Not only will it same you time and energy if you get lost, but it will give a better understanding of where you are and make your trip more enjoyable.
