: No need...using a GPS and aeronautical map. I know where I am going
: having used Google Satelite Maps to study the route. I can
: pinpoint my locale to within 100m using the GPS and aeronautical
: map. The beauty of using this kind of map is that it shows
: outbuildings, pump jacks, etc. This means that if I need to find
: a structure, it will be on the map, even way up there.
