When it was?
The very first time I used a map was long time ago in my school days, probably I was in grade 3 or 4. My social science teacher taught me to use them effectively and this was one of the best lessons she had delivered.
Where you were?
I was in class and my teacher had planned a very nice activity for us, She made us all move in different directions of the school and also taught us the basic vocabulary of using a map like cardinal directions, checking latitudes and all.
What you did?
We were then asked to draw signal lines to showcase the entire floor of the school building and explaining the locations of each department. As we were divided in groups of 4 students each, one had to draw the map, the other one had to check the directions correctly and the last 2 had to speak out the directions in an accurate manner so that any stranger coming into the school could listen to our audio and manage to reach the required destination , i.e, the particular department.
And explain how you felt about it?
This particular activity created an everlasting impression in my mind and I could never forget her teachings, even today whenever I refer a map, I never make any mistake in reading it as I am very clear on the way it directs different directions. This confidence helps me travel various places without any fear of getting lost.

And explain how you felt about it?
When it was:
I have been using maps since long and feel that they are the most supportive tool to travel to all such places you have never been before. As far as I remember, I first start using the physical maps, the paper based ones and now as the technology has bloomed I have started using the maps application to travel at various places fully confidently.
Where you were:
One such time, when I felt they were the most helpful to me was when I lost my way in the mid of an unknown city I had gine to just conduct a webinar.
What you did:
I had to reach the destination on time, however, I lost my way and ended up travelling approximately 5 kilometers more, while I was travelling I could sense that I was going wrong and immediately checked the google map application I had downloaded. It helped me extremely well and I could manage to reach the destination at the eleventh hour.
And explain how you felt about it.
I was really grateful to technology and the maps application and the way it guided me to follow the exact roads so that I could cover the long distance in shorter time. Not just this, maps also indicated the adjoining places so that I could easily relate to the place. I personally feel that every individual should use these feature at the commuting time to be away from any struggle that one can face by losing the way.
