I was speaking more to the urban folk who might consider themselves adventurous enough to go "day tripping" on foot, navigating by map, as those are the type that typically get lost and require search efforts to find. But, keep this in mind. One survey pace = 3 feet. Sounds simple, right? It is, on flat ground. Now, venture out into rugged terrain, and try to meter your paces to keep approximate horizontal distance going up and down hills, around trees, through streams, etc. Not quite as easy as it might first appear.
Google Maps baby!! "Turn left at the cactus 200 yards ahead"....
