Randy, I don't understand that either. Drawing a map is not easy and very
time consuming. In our orienteering club we pay thousends of dollars for
map making. Nevertheless, the only way a 5-mile hike would fit onto one
of our maps is to make a loop.
How can you bike with a compass? I usually need to follow a trail when
biking; you rarely't need a compass on a trail. How can a boy map read when
biking? Does the insurance know?
