Annually Read a Road Map Day is observed April 5. It encourages people to go on an adventure the old fashioned way, with a paper map! Do not use the electronic devices and unfold a traditional road map. Make known yourself with it and take a little trip. Use your capability for using a map. Teach someone else to read a map.
Learn more about maps and how they are made. Take a short road trip and use only paper maps to guide you. Take a navigator who does the map reading and directing for you. If you do not have a navigator, please make sure you only read the map when your car is at a complete stop.
If you have never read a map, take some time to learn to read one. We consider it will be a good skill to have in the unlikely event of disaster.
