  Possible.

   I had a map, but found I was just a couple of blocks from where I
wanted to be.  And yes there were still maps at gas stations but none had
the information I needed.
   I recall one time this out-of-towner asked me where such-and-such was.
 I gave him directions and we went our separate ways.  A few minutes
later I realised, to my horror, I had given him the wrong direction,
thinking the place he wanted was another one.
   For all I know he may still be driving around trying to find it 35
years later.
