    Reading a map.

    GPS is great & all, but I know people that if you put a paper map in front of them they’re still lost because they can’t correlate the map with reality.

      I can read a map (and hate letting the car navigate) but map has to be aligned with the world. Before the cell phone, I used to spread the map out on the ground, with north pointing north.

        Thank you! You know what you need to do to make things work, and you’re not one of the people who think “North” = “The direction I’m facing”
