    And how did that get there. Oh, don't tell me - somebody used a map to plan it. Unless routes are now just bursting forth out of nothingness... :roll:

    The point is he, being Ben, doesnt need to read/use a map to download a premade and follow the route, he just goes where the GPS tells him, how hard is that to understand? :roll:

    Obviously not ideal as being able to read a map would be useful but its doable and if you really get lost the GPS can route back to the start worst case scenario.

    The fact you can see where you are instantly with the GPS shows how far off the route you are and what general direction it is to get back to the route (you can ignore everything else so long as you have a rough idea what direction to go you will get back to the route), you dont need to be able to read a map to locate where you are, then navigate the direction you need to travel etc.
