[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 454896, member: 18942"] biggest thing with navigating with a compass is having a good topo map use without a map that you can use to plot distance and direction on it takes away a lot of the usefulness away from a compass. I guess I have taken it for granted how much orienteering I did at young age in my boy scout troop, and how much land navigation was pounded into my head with the Army I have never considered using a compass a big deal. But if in a new area that your trying to navigate a good topo map, and protractor are just as valuable as a compass. All a compass does it tell you what direction it's pointing. [/QUOTE]
