Pilotage is how you find your way home from the pub - by reference to *known* landmarks. You need to know the route to do it. There's nothing wrong with pilotage if you know the area like the back of your hand and don't need to spend much time keeping track of your position. It is not a substitute for Dead Reckoning when you are doing a cross country.
