I remember my parents planning long journeys using some piece of software (AA branded I think) that would print out all your turns, intersections and distance between them (in the late 90s).

In the mid 00s when I needed to navigate myself, I would plan it out on a map (Melways crew rise up!) and write myself prompts on paper in big writing with arrows so I could glance at it while driving.

Basically exactly like modern sat nav but without the live traffic.
