I believe land navigation was one of the most useful skills taught to me by the military. I love topo maps, they're a feast for the eyes.

Welcome to the digital age. I thought the vid was hilarious when I first seen it. Then, afterward a thought came to mind, Can my kids read a paper map?? They're all in early to mid 20s. I know my son's can but my daughter not so sure. Regardless, they'd all be LOST with out their albatross phones.
GPS is okay, but often wrong.

Today I was looking at a GPS App on my phone. It is supposed to provide UTM coordinates. But the coordinates didn't make sense to me. One axis had seven digits and the other six. ?? I'm used to either six- or eight-digit grid coordinates in the UTM system. Guess I have some "research" to do.
Cheers
