“Old fashioned Map and Compass.”
You got that right.
Private pilot here, and GPS is a nice luxury, but not a necessity if you know the basics.
But I know it is becoming a necessity very quickly for many.
I am sure military needs are another story all together.

Old fashioned Map and Compass. Me too. As Dan'l Boone once said: "Been a might confused a time or two, but I've never been lost."

Old fashioned Map and Compass. It's worked for me for close to 50 years. And I like Hi-Tech as much as the next geek, but I don't have a GPS unit. Never needed one.

When did schools stop teaching kids how to shoot an azimuth?

I don’t think getting lost with out a map is a problem. It would be in high tech weapons that use a GPS in their targeting system.
