Answer 1

Answer:

The author's main purpose for writing this article is to argue that navigating with printed maps produces a better road-trip experience than using GPS.

Explanation:

Steven Kurutz's article "Using Maps vs. GPS" presents a great argument about why he prefers traveling with a printed map instead of relying on GPS. To him, the gist of a journey, the travel experience comes with the use of printed maps which technology can't ever replace.

Kurutz insists that with the advancement in the world's technology, it is true and also understandable to see more people prefer GPS and the use of printed maps have dwindled drastically. Some shops have even stopped selling maps, which were a huge deal for any tourist traveling around. But despite this GPS technology providing live traffic information, he still prefers printed maps. This is because maps take people to places, sometimes to corners and routes that GPS might not suggest, and that is what traveling should be about- exploring and getting to see new places, unfamiliar, hidden places. This is a better road-trip experience.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
