Those who might check their phone’s map when lost are instead being encouraged to ask for directions.
Option 1 - check smartphone, get instant GPS directions
Option 2 - ask random people if they can tell you how to get somewhere and hope you can remember after. And that they aren’t wrong. Got lost anyway? Ask someone else!
Option 3 - Buy a paper map. Vastly less convenient than a smartphone and still doesn’t encourage any human interaction.
If smartphones are banned, what about smartwatches, or tablets, or laptops?
