A Perth technophobe has vowed he will NEVER cross over to GPS after hearing the 2026 Perth UBD will be the last version printed.
While the 2026 version should last him a few years for most destinations, he has vowed to simply “rawdawg it” to destinations that include fancy new streets – of which – he is strongly opposed.
We spoke to Bruce who was clutching the 2026 edition tightly, he told us,
“My son keeps trying to set this thingymabobby up in my car but I was raised to read maps, and I will NEVER be told to turn, I am the master & commander of this vehicle and every move is my call”
Luckily, the man is fairly set in his routines but his family do have concerns that he may get horribly lost on one of his missions to sample hose water from new suburbs.
However, Bruce claims to have a 6th sense when it came to directions given his lifelong commitment to reading maps. He added,
“Once you understand a map you really get a feel for city planning, I know where every road in Perth leads to! Even ones not even built yet!”
Well, they say map reading is a lost art, they may just be right.
