Good morning,
I totally agree with Howard's comments about the general population's extreme dependecy on GPS navigation systems.
My kids (23 and 26 years old) do not have any idea of how to read a paper map, but at least know the cardinal points because I forced them to learn that.
Nothing against technology, it is here to use and increase productivity and safety, but it is always good not to forget the principles of basic navigation.
Thanks,
Martin Camnos
