    Dumb phones had that too (and cameras, and internet). I was using GPS on my Motorola Razr back in 2004.

      Dumbphones have had a lot of the functionality we now use with smartphones. It’s a vague distinction anyway

      I had an actual Garmin GPS map handheld device with me. It was a pretty hefty brick I’m sure you could double as a weapon and literally all it did was show maps and your location. Fucking things were pretty advanced, I think they used those for civil engineering and shit

      And then young me bought an Android device…
