Today I would like to discuss an event in which we use map and we were very thankful to this technology. So we went and my husband went toambat on excursion and after uh, staying there for two days, locals advice asked to visit K Fu dam. So we were very excited about it and we informed our driver to come to pick us, uh, next day. But unfortunately our driver was not able to make it up because of illness so we decided to go on our own. We rented a car and we were off from place at 07:00 a.m. so after navigating it through a gps, we got to know that, uh, the distance of Kpudm from slambad was only 1 hour. So to us we were expecting it to be at least two or 3 hours anyway. So we were very excited and we start like uh, navigating and I, I think uh, I saw that there were no traffic congestion at all. So I thought, wow, it’s very pleasant to go there and reach there early, but uh, unfortunately. But uh, during a week we have to like facease through.

With the advent of GPS and modern smartphones, using a map has become less common. However, I remember a time when we relied on a map and were grateful for its guidance. My husband and I went on an excursion to Ambat, and after spending two days there, locals recommended visiting K Fu Dam. We were excited about this suggestion and asked our driver to pick us up the next day. Unfortunately, our driver was unable to make it due to illness, so we decided to go on our own. We rented a car and set off at 7:00 a.m. After navigating with a GPS, we discovered that Kpudm was only an hour away from Slambad. We had expected the journey to take at least two or three hours, so we were thrilled. We started navigating, and I noticed there was no traffic congestion. I thought, 'Wow, it's going to be a pleasant drive, and we'll arrive early.' However, our excitement was short-lived. During our journey, we encountered a roadblock.
