GPS was designed for automated delivery systems to put their packages
within a 10 foot radius. The delivery systems go by various names but
mostly tomahawk, and the packages mostly go boom. Your use of the system
was an afterthought.

There's almost always /something/ in an inhabited area. If you've got the
right maps, they'll include individual buildings and the like, in addition

not by /me/, though :-) ) I've known some amazing "orienteers" over the
years.
So much Aussie bush that I traverse has next to no man made points of
reference and such limited visibility that even geo contours are nigh
on impossible to follow. GPS helps, I guess the guys who put it up
there thought so also ;-)
