Netherlands. And fuel injection has been a thing since the 1930s for Diesel and the 1950's for vehicles.

Yes, it has an ECU and ooh, gollies there is software in that. But it's completely invisible from an interaction point of view, there are no screens, all the buttons just do what they are told, there are no 'upgrades', no bugs, interfaces, restarts and attempts to kill me through 'assistance'.

I understand the appeal. Do you use paper maps too or you have a smartphone on the dashboard ? That would be a bit cheating.

    It’s interesting to see how people who grew up with smartphones think.

    It’s entirely possible to get around without smartphones or paper maps. There are road signs, written directions, verbal directions. The main time I used to use a paper map was driving long distance trips in a foreign country.
