The Bumpass is a low-pressure, low-stakes navigation tool. Put in where you want to go and the Bumpass will tell you what direction and how far away it is. What it can’t tell you is if there’s anything in the way, like buildings or streets or some guys field. *How* you get to your destination is up to you. It’s like a compass, but a bad one. A Bumpass.
