[QUOTE="Guest, post: 196300"] Australianminesatlas. Create a map. Zoom to area, add roads,rivers,population centres,reserves. Click on gold occurences in mineral occurences. Print, then print google satellite map for overlay/comparison. No apps or i-phones needed. Shove the 2 bits of paper in your backpack. As long as you can read a map and have some basic orienteering skills you're set. I have(2) Magellan GPSs'. One with topographics, the other for a backup. But I don't use them to tell me where to go, just where I've been. A lot of people, my Dad included, use their car gps to get places. It makes you dumb. To get from Queanbeyan back west it took us through the cbd of Canberra. Short, but bloody slow. When all this wonderful technology goes kaput, people will be so dumbed-down they won't be able to find the front door. Nothing will ever beat bush skill and spatial awareness. :o [/QUOTE]
