No doubt you can navigate fine mate, not questioning that. Most of us can, at times apps do help though. I use google maps a bit on the satellite pic to find likely pig hiding spots.

JimTom wrote:I think android would have a similar compass app mate. May be the easier solution. Compass could be handy as well as the position it provides.
In saying that, the compass on my phone some times swings 180 deg out and requires a calibration every so often, so I guess not so bloody useful eh.

I'll check that later, it's downloading 8GB of maps just now and I don't want to upset it

Definitely makes more sense when you can actually see your own position on the map.
I'm going to set it to track my movements, I think I'm going to like it
Thanks so much for your help JT!
