Note that I don't think you'd completely memorise every detail of the map. If you're driving through an area you might ignore details irrelevant to your purpose, such as side roads and elevations, unless they happen to be useful as landmarks. But I'm not sure what purpose doing so would achieve.

Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Navigation
Are we talking about a simple GPS receiver that just gives your coordinates, or the modern instrument commonly referred to as a GPS but which contains downloaded maps?

That's fairly obviously not 'without a map', or so I assumed.

Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Navigation
That's what I thought too, but as far as I know, it's standard to have a map so the point seems kind of academic.
