The Art of Navigation
OK, maybe 'Art' is the wrong description.
Where has it gone?
Travelers now have use of affordable GPS units with 'puter maps loaded giving restaurant, sleeping, recreation and so much more information, all while on-the-fly. Less thought and planning needed.
Maybe less-than-accurate paper maps are now adequate for journeys into unknown lands.
Maybe maps aren't needed at all. 
No need to carry a sextant.
Has the compass gone the way of the rotary dial phone?
Has map plotting gone the way of 30w oil?
Maybe call a friend back home on your Sat phone and ask him/her whether you should take the right or left fork?
Is becoming lost now a warranty issue?
I agree that color is more nifty than B&W, but are we losing something else in the process?
