I teach that the most important things required for navigation (assuming you have a flight plan prepared) are a clock and a compass. Maps are optional, for error correction only...

But I'll try anything to stop students from staring at the ground every two minutes to figure out where they are.

Stillin1 - agree totally! Plus local knowledge is a wonderful thing...
