Lost in the outback

[the evil twin]

Yep, as Rob said above take paper maps and a compass and know how to use them. My compass never leaves the car and i always have paper maps of where i am. I dont have gps mapping, it makes you lazy and you cant navigate by them.

They certainly are the lazy navigators godsend and I always have a compass with me as well... but I am curious about the "can't navigate by them"

Navigation wise, what can't a GPS do that a paper map can?

My GPS's (or should it be GPII) will all do distance, bearing (true, grid, mag), route profile, X track, T.A.E. isn't affected by Mag Deviation and the back track function is very, very handy as well... plus never have to fart around doing a resection.

Flat batteries are a bitch tho
