    Navigation with paper and GPS should be part and parcle of ALL basic 4x4 driving courses.

    Ok rant over.

    Actually to be honest i am happier with paper than a GPS unit in the outdoors. In cities as i get lost there very fast must admitt GPS is my saviour., also good for speed limits on city roads.

    I still prefer mils vs degrees but adaption is the name of the game

    NOTE:
    Anyone in the iron triangle want a refresher or learn how to use a map compass give me a contact.
    I agree, prefer mils over degrees......

    Yep old habits never die.
    I ended up making a conversion chart degs to mils and reverse so i could use my mils compass and protractor.

    You still have one of the old white rectangular protractors with the middle cutout or a flashy clear half round one with RAA written on it?
