[QUOTE="ppine, post: 455153, member: 22555"] In forestry school we learned to make topographic maps with a staff compass, a range pole and a surveyor's chain. That was in the 1970s. What are you going to do when your batteries quit? The only people that get lost coming out to my rural property are those that rely on a GPS. We lose a few people each winter that blindly follow their GPS into remote country and get stuck. People have navigated the world with a compass, and a clock, sometimes with charts for thousands of years. It seems like a big mistake for basic navigation skills to be lost in one generation because of the advent of electronic pathfinding. [/QUOTE]
