a map with no labels

I've got a problem with Google Maps and people's reliance on them instead of traditional maps/map books. While Google Maps can give me the exact location, I find their written directions to be a little confusing. I've gotten lost so many times with those directions it's not funny, especially with my new job which requires driving all around southern Ontario. If there's an accident or lots of traffic you can't easily detour because you don't know where you'll meet back up with written directions. I guess that's the same problem with directions your friends give but those also include statements like "right near the large hotel". I'd much rather look at a map and plan the route in my head. Maybe I'm old fashion (still don't understand Twitter). Who knows...
