I don't travel to look at mountains, trees, wild life, amusement parks...I travel for the road it's self. <shrug> Guess that makes me the weird one, the green monkey if you will. I almost NEVER take photos as I'm usually too busy.

I prefer a nice map with contoure lines, a map protractor scaled for that map and a compass. I've out navigated gps cross country more than once. |
