COMPASS AND MAP: WHY BE ABLE TO USE THEM IN THE WORLD OF NAVIGATORS IN EVERY SMARTPHONE?

AUTHOR: MAX POLGIN

First, the navigator (or smartphone) breaks much easier than a compass and map, and it can also discharge.

Secondly, electricity can disappear for some time, and such precedents have already been in history. Yes, we are talking about the same notorious electromagnetic pulse (EMI), which can completely disable all electronic devices. Then, in 1859, a powerful outburst of solar activity caused a geomagnetic storm, which led to the disruption of telegraphic communication. Scientists believe that such geomagnetic storms occur once every 150-200 years. Calculate the approximate time of the next flash yourself.

So primitive navigation technologies still have a place in the 21st century, even from a purely practical point of view. And some more lyrics. Orientation using a compass is fun and interesting, and it’s also a great brain exercise.
