The GPS is always right. I never thought I would need anything more complicated than a location from a gps to verify on my map. BUT the ability to add to intelligence when hunting and orienteering is changing the game. And they are only getting better!

Lewis and Clark used a compass to make a pretty good map. But they took every opportunity to use a sextant to fix their location according to celestial elements because they were more accurate.

Same concepts, just 200 years of technolgy advancing.


I agree... I know what a cubit is too, but that doesn't mean I'm going to use it over a tape measure or laser range finder... wink I saw a little compass watch the other day and thought of Brad... laugh
