[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2241627, member: 116439"] Believe it or not I learned to read maps and compass from my day, the Boy Scouts and then in the Corps. We didn't have GPS when I was in the Corps. Everything was done off a topographical map and compass. Well now I have the newest GPS loaded with several maps. However when I go into an area I still bring printed out Topo maps in plastic and my trusty compass that I got while a Marine 50 years ago. Can't trust electronics if the batteries go dead or the satellite fails. Even if you just have a Topo map, the stars, moss on trees you can get by from landmarks. [/QUOTE]
