The joys of Real Navigation - they cannot (yet) jam a map and compass! :)
But they will never track your decaying corpse down to a few feet on a misty moor if all you got is a compass and map.

Get with the program John. Our overlords need to know when and where to find us at all times. Maps and compasses in the hands of the great unwashed are of little use to The Sultans of Satan ;)

Which is why I do not own a GPS ... well ... one reason :)

In the woods if possible.
Walking the footpaths in Gloucestershire last week (at about one o'clock in the morning, as it happened) I was accosted by a couple of coppers.

They'd been informed that I was trespassing.

I politely pointed out that I was using public footpaths.

They asked how I could be sure.

I showed them that I was carrying the OS map for the area and a compass.

They said that they didn't have things like that, they only had their little GPS sets which didn't seem to show the footpaths.

They asked me to show them the footpath on the map.

Instead, I shone my torch on the six-foot-high green signpost that I was standing next to.

It said "Public Footpath" on three sides.

Typical they wait for the midges to migrate before invading. Always fun to see the war canoes, tied alongside the Govan docks so the crews can visit ikea.
