I do this all the time along with building DoorDash food orders I don’t actually order.

He’s not doing anything bad. He’s just enjoying seeing stuff. Enjoying about taking a lil mini vacation in his mind. So maybe one day when you’re on a trip he knows random places cuz 3 yrs ago he scrolled around that area.

Is he a skater? Because this is real as fuck for skateboarders. This is one way of the ways we find skate spots

MINE TOO. Sometimes he also just drives around to look at power poles. This is how I know he’s a keeper

Ah, the manly desire to know where everything is. Sometimes, we’re looking for points of interest, places to visit, best places to hide a hypothetical body, or maybe just hide ourselves for a couple days. Lately, I’ve been looking around my city for all the cool playgrounds I want to take my kid to someday. That, and planning out road trips and vacations to museums and parks I’d like to visit.

Not a dude and I do this. This is how I find new places to eat at around the country, places to go and hike at.

I do this out of pure curiosity sometimes. I like to get a general idea of city layouts and orientations even in places I’ve never been or places I probably will never go. It’s kinda fascinating and I can get lost doing it lol.

I do this for a few reasons.
1. Want to understand the neighborhood layout
2. Want to see the busy areas and check what is driving people to those areas
3. Want to see if any interesting landmarks show up
4. Untreated OCD

I was doing exactly that right before popping on Reddit just now.
If you can’t handle man town, don’t worry about it. Dude stuff.

I read a lot of historical stuff and do this all the time to get a feel of the area it’s set in. Once, I read a memior from a woman who lived about 1.5 hours from me so I just drove down there to see.

I am a woman over 40, and I love looking at Google maps or Google Earth. As a kid I used to look at maps for hours.

When I was in grade school and went home for lunch, I would spend the whole time I was eating looking at a Rand McNally road atlas. Shit was fascinating to me – still is. My wife recently networked with an insurance agent who came to the event with 2025 road atlases and she got me one. I spent at least an hour looking at new highway shit. It’s still on my dining room table.

“Why are you looking at maps?”
“Planin’ on goin’ for a drive.”
