What about your paper map? I have yet to use a GPS or a smart telephone. I
find no need for a GPS. I usually know where I am and I can read ONC charts
and use a compass. Back when Ed and I crossed the Sahara in a 2CV with only
ONC charts and a compass. There were no paved roads just sand an tires to
mark the way. It got dicey in a zero visibility sand storm and we sort of
got lost for a few hours until we found the Hogars. The sand abated.
