Thread: Compass Navigating 101

  1. #11
    Thank you. I can use a compass, because I was in the Army, and I have not forgotten everything. But yes it is a perishable skill.
    If a very bad event takes place in America, and people need to use a compass; well, that ship will have sailed. Because they can't find their way across the state w/o GPS.

    How about those who use their GPS to go across town for the big Walmart sale??

    The under 50 generations all think that Google invented the term "map".

    I know a young, college grad, who does that; she uses a GPS to go across town, I kid you not. I was in the car with her once, and I started telling her which way to go. I know shortcuts, and I have mapped the town in my head, and I just do it, as I go along. That is because I read paper maps, and then I hit the road, and I fly by the seat of my pants.

    I have American & World Atlases, and I can find most places that way.

    The Maps and Atlas's have changed, I look at a few I have from when I was a Land Surveyor, has all the counties in the state, but they are not as detailed as they used to be, I blame GPS and digital maps. People are screwed if they have no power.
