Interesting. I've shown the family the Sextent I want for my birthday. I keep equivalent "analog" equipment for all the digital.

I started out my career navigating the deserts in Saudi Arabia as well as mapping well locations with a compass and range finder (tape measure for detailed layouts and long hand trigonometry).

Yes, we’re shopping for a sextant. Very useful backup tool.
