Careful Dave, we can see where you live - look right down your chimney
- even at your front door - through your living/bed/room windows (if
UPS or Google have been by). HIDE!
I taught map reading and land navigation in the Army. I do NOT rely on a
GPS to tell me where I'm going. I've learned that when the GPS & the
paper map disagree, more often it's the GPS that's wrong ... assuming
the GPS can actually get a signal and it's not stuck somewhere miles
behind you.
My experience is about 25% of men can learn to read a map well enough to
navigate by it.
Same for women, but it takes them longer to get beyond the "I'll never
be able to do this" stage.
