Thanks for sharing this, Gary.
One of my favorite quotes from P.V.H Weems is: "A navigator's capabilities may be judged by the inverse ratio of the number of bearings he requires on any given flight." Situational awareness is a critical skill; paper maps are still useful for developing and retaining it.
