K5 Gus Oct 2020 5:07pm, 10 Oct 2020 4,064 posts	0 K5 Gus McGoo - perhaps some of the good links (eg Homer's and Cerro's ) in the sidebar ?
um Oct 2020 5:56pm, 10 Oct 2020 3,489 posts	0 um DrF - the car parked next to today was advertising New Forest Navigation. Seems they run 1 or 2 day courses, if of interest. No idea if they are any good, just seemed topical. And yes, compass for real, or phone or garmin have them. Or sun and time, or moss on trees

um Oct 2020 6:06pm, 10 Oct 2020 3,491 posts	0 um The OSM is good. Had fun making a few corrections online. Mainly so fetch routes would go under the railway bridge, not divert me 3 miles

Dr PhFleecyD Oct 2020 6:45pm, 10 Oct 2020 51,080 posts	0 Dr PhFleecyD I do not think that word means what you think it means
um Oct 2020 6:51pm, 10 Oct 2020 3,492 posts	0 um I’ve been in the middle of the top of Kinder, with an arrow showing me where I am. Just no signal to download the relevant, and useful, map. So now I download or print in advance.
