With that attitude the chances are you will not find yourself getting lost.
I used to spend hours with students making sure they knew how to plot, read maps etc. Then once they get theie PPL they get a GPS and when they launched off, I could not see a line or time/event waypoint anywhere. One statement I got was 'the batteries on my GPS went half way round and I had no idea where I was'.
So carry on map reading, for all our sakes.
