The Luddite appeal is there for me, too - my life is structured by technology enough as it is; I like escaping once in a while. And, like you, I learned map and compass way back when, and never felt the need to change. (I still remember, as a newly-commissioned second lieutenant, being asked what the two most dangerous things in the world were. The answer: “An ensign with an idea, and a second lieutenant with a map.”)
