> These findings stopped me in my tracks because those two jobs rely on the same thing as my own work: maps.
Those jobs rely on navigation, not maps. Reading maps and navigating the real world are very, very different things.
The later point about zip codes with higher complexity is the same - these residents have to _navigate_ in more complex situations. How the author seems to be conflating that their personal job of staring at maps therefore protects them from Alheimers is very wishful thinking IMO.
Based on this data, I wouldn't be surprised if Google Maps has lead to a rise of Alzheimers.
