Mapping software and Global Positioning System (GPS) devices are used regularly by travelers and commuters. Since these devices and apps are updated in real time with user-supplied information, they have become associated with a number of problems. While commuters attempt to avoid traffic on highways, they often create traffic on smaller, local roads that are less able to handle this new burden. Users also lose a sense of their geographical surroundings as they rely more on mapping software or GPS devices for navigation.  \nCarefully read the following six sources, including the introductory information for each source. Write an essay that synthesizes material from at least three of the sources and develops your position on the value, if any, of mapping software and devices.  \nSource A (Foderaro article)  \nSource B (National Research Council book)  \nSource C (graph from He)  \nSource D (Grabar article)  \nSource E (chart from BuildFire)  \nSource F (Paulas article)  \nIn your response you should do the following:  \n• Respond to the prompt with a thesis that presents a defensible position.  \n• Select and use evidence from at least three of the provided sources to support your line of reasoning. Indicate clearly the sources used through direct quotation, paraphrase, or summary. Sources may be cited as Source A, Source B, etc., or by using the description in parentheses.  \n• Explain how the evidence supports your line of reasoning.  \n• Use appropriate grammar and punctuation in communicating your argument.  \n© 2025 College Board.  \n[Visit College Board on the web:](Visit College Board on the web: collegeboard.org 3)[ collegeboard.org](Visit College Board on the web: collegeboard.org 3)[ 3](Visit College Board on the web: collegeboard.org 3)  \nSource A  \nFoderaro, Lisa W.“Navigation Apps Are Turning Quiet Neighborhoods Into Traffic Nightmares.”The New ","cbCaihOxx75NLRkq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihOxx75NLRkq","pdf",404908,12,"English","# Section II\n## Timing and directions\n## Question 1: Synthesis\n## Question 2: Rhetorical Analysis\n## Question 3: Argument\n## Source set overview","[{\"question\":\"What is the total time for Section II, and how is it allocated across the questions?\",\"answer\":\"Section II lasts 2 hours and 15 minutes.
