When I started trucking, I had an English map. I tried to use it a
couple of times and then tossed it into a far recess of the truck
where it didn't see daylight again for years.

They're too damned hard to use. I always found it easier to spot the
kanji I was looking for rather than trying to read all that horrible
mess of romaji. It isn't necessary to actually *read* the kanji, just
recognize it.
