The joy of map reading.

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 :mad: ).

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 :o

I LOVE map reading.

I read maps in bed :o

im very good with maps but not with a compass
its true its like map readin when findin your way round the country
i dare say i could go anywhere in the UK without a map cos ive drove so many miles, if someone says go to such and such i never really loo at the map much

Maps count as porn. I have maps on my kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom walls.

It's because I'm too cheap to buy proper pictures. I expect there'll be someone along later to confirm that.
