Yep.

Quite often when we travelled.
Madam would be sitting there reading map book.
She'd say. forget that direction go 'here/this way"
Quite often we would get through or to areas a lot quicker less busily than following Garmin.

She was same at sea.

couldn't read sextant. but coastal, she was better than me with the hand held and RDF.
A damn good navigator.
