Can't have been-hardly anyone actually does it. We just all collude to the myth of navigating in races. I race 50 times a year and hardly ever see anyone with a map out.

Once when lost I got my map and compass out and was instantly surrounded by half a dozen runners with cries of "he's got a compass!" They should have had as well (kit requirement) but they were lost as well but like most runners in races were just following the person in front.
