Ever think about trying embedded development?

It doesn't pay as well as web development. But it moves more slowly, it's not going anywhere, and it can be a stepping stone towards getting to work with your hands in a technical role.

As a more general response to OP's question, you can always switch industries. We're lucky to work with code, because everything runs on it. Finance, agriculture, medicine, vehicles...moving to a different area of the economy can feel refreshing, and it gives you a chance to learn about things that are unrelated to coding. Soulless web dev is where the big money is, but you won't starve working in other areas.

You can, you just need to download the maps for offline use. Google maps makes it easy:

It's very useful for navigating crowded touristy areas, remote nature preserves, sports/music events that jam the towers, etc.

Some more specialized apps also support doing the same thing with other types of maps, like USGS quad sheets.
