Whether or not you can is academic.

You must not, without being able to do the alternative.
If you wander round in circles going hypothermic, unable to find anyone or anything because you guessed wrong where you were.

The race organisers wont thank you.
And after november debacle, fell running doesnt need more bad vibes from mountain rescue.

Surely a map is no good if you don't know where you are! I think in your fit of genuine enthusiasm, you've missed what I was getting at.

With a Forerunner type watch I reckon you'd struggle to navigate a course well. With a handheld device, ie Garmin eTrex Legend and the topo maps, then yes you could.

When I do navigate courses with one of these I also carry a map and keep track where I am on the map as well. The handheld devices will give you an O/S co-ordinate, which the Forerunner watches won't.
