There was a nice little article in the weekend paper about map reading , as in: map, compass, eyes and brain. Basically saying that people who use assorted electronic gadgetry miss out, they don't look and observe their surroundings, but rather wait to be told where they are and which way to go.
They see little about them, so fail to fully appreciate the landscape and country.
There's so much detail available on an OS map, if you know how and where to look for it, it also makes you use your brain as opposed to simply following instructions (from the Yanks satelites ).
How many of you are "traditionalists" and would never use a GPS and whatever else there is? And who uses anything going ?
I may change my tune if lost on the Rhinogs in thick clag next week
