I took courses on map reading and navigation in high school (ROTC) and I enjoy the fact that I am one of few (POSSIBLY) who could get practically anywhere with the right tools. One typical problem people need to be aware of when using maps and compasses are Magnetic North (MN) and True North (TN). Often this is what other students would mess up on when we had tests.
Most people use GPS but that only goes for so long, batteries die, connections get lost, technology fails. Crazy.
