Well, I don't know whether I am a "tough guy" or not but I navigated
all over S.E. Asia using paper maps and a compass :-)

I'll put in a plug for a compass, too. Even when I have a GPS going,
unless I'm mindlessly following the instructions of the electronic lady
inside the thing, it's sometimes nice to know which direction I'm
pointing. Google Maps makes a guess, but it's plus or minus about 60
degrees.

The compass on the dash of my car has been quite handy at times, and the
ones on each bike have been even more useful.

You're fortunate to have never run into an area where there was a bunch of magnetite or other similar mineral. VBEG
