Which is exactly what Mrs B and I do, when 2-up! She can read the gps over my shoulder and give me directions via our bluetooth. How did we all get by before they were both invented......
Map books and atlases, sir! They were good then, and for me, still good today!
To me, a compass in a motor vehicle on the road is an absolutely worthless piece of equipment. Now, if I'm out in the middle of the wilderness without a USFS map, yeah, maybe I need a compass. But in all my life, having done a fair amount of stomping in the mountains, I've never had the need...just position off the sun!
WHY??? (Those that made guiding by the stars a joke,,, ) The military navigates with an Astro Inertial system! There is a camera that looks at the stars, and they load a map for the hemisphere they're going to be working in!
