Who here is planning to rely on the GPS in their car for directions on how to get to places, if things go seriously south?

Okay, that may be kind of funny on the face of it. But if there is a general emergency, the chances are high that the GPS system, if still in orbit, will be reserved for ‘non-public’ uses. And I’m wondering if many cars will be running for very long.

So back to maps and compasses. Except who knows how to use either of those any more?
