    Samsies, because there are other ways of finding north than just with a needle.

    But hey, I don't need to choose, so I can take all of the above! (Map, compass and GPS)

    R93, in my personal experience, GPS navigation just makes you lazy.

    Maybe just me , but I've found that I am a lot more spatially aware when working only with map and compass. I tend to check position and bearing a lot more often with map than when working with GPS waypoints.

    On several occasions I've made direction turn errors when looking at small map on GPS screen...
