Hmmm
Yes it is an oft asked subject and there are many threads on this site about this very same subject. Having said that it is an entertaining one and worth repeating every now and then! My own sense of direction is so bad it is legendary and those who have ridden alongside me know I will get lost at some point
The thing about being lost is that even with a map if you dont know where you are and the map does not have a big X on it saying "you are here" then what is the point of having one? I also find that trying to read read them at anything over 30 MPH tends to cause them to blow everywhere, especially those big Michelin buggers
I wont leave home with out my GPS and a mobile phone to call for help should I need it, but that is just me. If you can get by without the expense of them then go for it and use maps, they have worked for centuries for the likes of Magellan, Drake etc.
