Does it make anyone else mad modern GPS systems/e-maps cannot show a county/parrish line?

This might just fall on deaf ears as I have basically geography/cartography autism, but it drives me insane.

There’s some practical reasons why this would actually be important, like blue laws, but dammit I like just looking through google earth or the Apple iPhone map at random shite just to kill time, and this drives me insane.

I miss my old paper maps. They didn’t pull these shenanigans.

Random AF yes. Would you rather talk about current events? I wouldn’t

Chill man. You can still buy paper maps if you so desire.

Like take this very board as an example

What if I want to jump in on making fun of Livingston Parrish? I don’t know it by heart, and to find out it’s exact boundaries I have to go way out of my way

A lot of people can't read a map these days. I was taught how to read a map when growing up. And I still prefer to do that, but just putting info into your phone and have step by step info is pretty convenient.

Youd better learn how to correctly spell a third-grade level word like “Parish” before you start trying to make fun of anyone else, dumbass Rebel turd.

Q: Where’s the Ole Miss trophy room?
A: There’s been no need to build one yet.

Answer me this: did you have to type into the search bar to come out with that outline? Why can the lines not just appear by default the closer you zoom?

Type in the county or Parish you want. And you can zoom in a lil bit.

Jesus y’all that is not the point.

Why can they not include something as important as county and PARISH lines as you zoom in when they will on the other hand naturally show you where Sisterfrick Creek is without having to type it in?

Congratulations, you won. I surrender. You broke me

I will now move on to plan B and have a map of the entire south tattooed on my beer gut upside down, county and PARISH lines included, so I can study it in my trailer in peace.
