But isnt always available to do that and even a
very good navigator can't do anything about a place
that has moved with the map not being updated yet.

And have missed out on the convenience of it

Or when you show up at a place that has moved and
find that it has moved and hasn’t left adequate info
on where it has moved to. I just had that on Monday.

But if you had got a decent smartphone
you would have had things more convenient
for quite a while now.

Much more convenient to use a smartphone
mapper which can use the operation's name
etc or just show you the nearest place where
you can do some particular thing.
