I've simplified navigation to just a compass and no map. It's a bit extreme. Anyone who attempts it should take a safety observer who is navigating with more traditional means.

It's long, so I put it in a blog.

Admittedly, it also requires keeping a lot of records. There is a way to do it in your head, but I'm still refining that.
