When I was navigating in the Highlands with 20m visibility in the snow GPS had not been launched. Knowing how to do it with map and compass is not to be disregarded.Â

Extra skills are always handy but when I have been walking on the open moor and a thick fog comes in I would prefer a gps receiver to a paper map every time :]

When Galileo starts working [next year?] there will be 3 separate "GPS" networks to rely on which should make it pretty resilient. So massive solar flare, nuclear war or alien invasion notwithstanding I am fairly happy to rely on it.
