Right -- you have basically a static map. It doesn't track where you are on the map, but at least you have a map with you.

Good poitn, Des. I think that the size of the map WOULD be a downfall in this program.

I can locate myself on a full size map I know how to calculate distance and pin point my location because my husband a former Marine taught me but I dont think he could do it on that.

I mean its a little different than just looking at a map and saying there I am, I could navigate without road ways from one location to another and my husband could call in artillery to a 3 meter square that is being fired from 3 miles away.
