| Aug 5, 2019 at 11:49 | comment | added | The Square-Cube Law | @Separatrix this has been a discussion since the 00's. I agreed in the beginning but nowadays software like Google Maps allows for precaching of maps of regions you select, so you can download hundreds of megabytes and still use the maps when you have no signal. These apps are also light years ahead of standalone devices in terms of usability now. | |
