Basically the same priciple of boat navigation. If you depend on your electronics to navigate and never learn to use a compass and map your screwed when you loose power to those instruments.
I've been offline for a few days so I missed this one.
O.T. but
I work as a service dispatcher, ten road techs, NE & NY.

Do I have your permission to print your post, copy it 100x and plaster it all over the inside of every van?

PLEASE?
I can send the same person to the same place five days in a row and they STILL need the exact address. Five days in a row.
A year and a half with the GPS and they no longer possess the ability to even find their way home without it.
