Kabs, Polzin.. .I`m not going to get into any inter State arguments with you lot. I was fortunate enough to go to Oshkosh last year, I flew there from Calgary in a 182 and felt that I didn`t much fancy the thought of navigating by mapreading over that terrain. There was rather a lack of specifically identifiable features. I suppose it`s what you are used to.. .That`s the clue as to how it`s done Kabs, draw a line on the map and try to follow it. BG (Before GPS)you relied on reading the map to get you to the turning point or destination. Most active cross country glider pilots, ( I do not count myself as one of their number), don`t need the map as they know every inch of the ground anyway.
