Yeah, I keep a copy of Thoemings in the top of my tank bag as well. Can't figure how to use a GPS in Oz, to few sattelites from what I understand.

GPS works fine in OZ.
Just turn it on and get up to
twelve satellites. Most small handhelds
only handle twelve anyway.

I'm frequently amazed that people with a GPS ignore direction signs on the road and then have to u-turn.

GPS = Globe Positioning System

A map, a compass and an airhead sees me right :lol:

I've been lost for 50 years. I got used to it fairly early in the piece.
