You hit the nail on the head. That's exactly how I like to do things. I have a good sense of direction and of my surroundings, and I'm good at reckoning where I am using natural landmarks. I've never really used GPS for routing. As you say, I just use it to confirm my location, and also to be able to give my location in case of emergency. Being able to zoom out to know the road I'm on actually leads to another road and doesn't just dead-and is also handy.
Thanks for the very informative info.
