Yes, pretty amazing. While I did have a couple of free tourist maps, I planned and executed a 1700km road trip to New Zealand basically using Google Maps on my laptop and then simply navigated on my phone. It seems incredible that you could entrust everyday's travel plans using this and it just worked. Sure you had to make sure you had downloaded maps (or at least cached) ahead of time for spotty networks. Only 25 years or so ago you absolutely had to have paper maps (and know how to read them) to embark on such a venture
