Comment on "30 minutes or it's free" back then was wild

I did this as well. When it was new, it was freaking revolutionary.

Barely a decade prior to that, you’d have to call AAA, give them your itinerary, and they’d mail you a custom triptik for your journey. And it would cost. You can still get these, but why?

Good backup in case your phone shits the bed or you end up somewhere with no data

  You can download your trip for offline use in google maps or Apple Maps. Or fall back to the gps of your car.
  
  I really don’t see any point nowadays tbh.

    Eh. I might consider this if I had a long and complex road trip. Last major trip I took (1000 miles) I stayed on interstates for about 90% of it.

I remember going to our AAA office to pick That up. Our agent would walk through the trip with us.
