Map and Compass

[NP99]

Before i did the vote thing only 10 say they are confident with map and compass and only 14 members voted. Not really looking good as it either means most dont see this as a relivent issue or dont want the sad truth let be known paper maps scare them.

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?
