There's a weekend Pie Festival in Celebration late April - we only heard about it on the local news 30 minutes before it closed. I'm still cross about that 5 years later.

can't agree driven the world and signs everywhere.
Of course on thoughts are valid to your experience, however even 3rd world countries stick signs up and driven plenty of them.
Sat Nav wasn't around till end of 90s the human race found each other for eons before and will do forever.

I may be old fashioned, but I just follow the road signs.

A quick look at the map to memorise the key road numbers and directions eg 528 North, I4 Tampa, 192 West then look at the overhead signs.

I have never used a Sat Nav in Florida, but I am an old fashioned boy 🤷🏻

We downloaded the maps in advance on Google Maps, then just used that. Our car even had Android Auto so we could see the maps on the in-car screen.
The only problem doing it this way is you get no traffic data, as that uses mobile data.

Google maps works well but as you have been before you probably won't use it too much. Roads are easy to.learn when staying in the area.
