[QUOTE="Rockhunter62, post: 352483, member: 7504"] Hi Blackwolf, I found that if you join the defense force they will teach you how to navigate in the bush. If you can't do that what about an orienteering club. Best to know how to navigate the basic way before relying on elrctronic devises. Don't get me wrong, I like my gps but rarely have to use it to get back to where I left the car. Having a paper map, knowing your north, south, east and west, roads, hills, creeks are normally enough for you to not lose you way. One day the electronic devise will not have power or can't get a signal so you will have to go back to the sextant. Cheers Doug [/QUOTE]
