Google Maps actually sucks for things like hiking and trails, there's a lot of better alternatives like Maps.me.

I'm ok with In-video sponsors though. You can always skip them (unlike YouTube ads) and the money goes straight to the content creator.

Part one was the most cliche movie I've seen. Bad guys are bad, good guys are good, kid is the chosen one, parents get killed. Hopefully part 2 will be better.
