At a slight tangent on the topic but this is an interesting watch with respect to modern technology
The Glass Cage
When I did my navex for gliding the instructor I did it with placed huge emphasis on the small picture and none on the big. Was the high ground where it should be? Was the big river where it should be? IMHO the big picture is just as important as the small, a view developed over years of hill walking & some marine navigation. For me the big picture is what lets me re-orient myself if necessary.
