GPS down - What are your alternative methods of navigation?
GPS down - What are your alternative methods of navigation?
Over the last few weeks, the spoofing of GPS in Eastern Europe has reached annoying levels, which even led to the cancellation of flights - sources:

What are your preps in case of a natural or human-made outage of global navigation satellite systems?
I‘m teaching land navigation for civil defence units and civilians, so I‘d like to gather a picture of how people in different countries prepare themselves for this case.
* Which country do you live in? Rural or suburban area?
* Do you still have paper maps? If so, only local, regional or country-wide?
* Do you own a decent compass, and do you think you know how to navigate with map and compass?
* Do you think you could find different routes to safe areas in case of evacuation, using only maps and compass?
* Do you think you could find hospitals, drug stores or fuel stations only using maps and compass?
* Have you ever worked with coordinate systems like UTM REF / MGRS, and do you think you could navigate using those?
* When - if at all - have you last practiced your land navigation skills, be it in training or a real life situation?
