I did this in 2016, used a combo of paper maps and GPS for the first few weeks until I was very familiar with the layout of our delivery area. The addresses used a logical structure if you know where the roads are, so after that point I'd just think about it for a second and know just where to go.

I remember having to give your "cross streets," i.e. the nearest intersection of major thoroughfares, so they'd know which section of the Thomas Guide to look in, especially if there were multiple streets with the same name. Then again, I'm older than Domino's.
