ORIGINAL: CGRetired

I was involved in the US Coast Guard Differential GPS system in the 1990's. When visiting Coast Guard ships in the area, I would always preach 'NEVER EVER forget how to use the compass and the sextant". Good advice.. remember how to use that compass!!

That is wonderful advice, CGR. I have often thought that I would have loves GPS in 'Nam, but my old lensatic never failed, ran out of battery, or otherwise let me down.
