> printed maps?

For complex routes. Otherwise I just jot down a couple exits and an intersection and call it good.

> No ‘where are you?’ texts or the like?

No one expects this from me day to day because I am rarely away from home for more than a few hours at a time without a friend or family member, but when air traveling I have my tiny pocket laptop and check in at travel hubs from wifi. Everyone in your life will get used to it, especially if they see the results in it allowing you to be a more present person.

> No looking up nearby anything you’re curious about but didn’t know about before hand?

I tend to discover a lot of authentic hidden gems the travel guides don't mention, by just walking around a new area. Generally if I am traveling somewhere new, I go early to get a lay of the land.
