>Navigating with a map and compass is a difficult skill that takes a lot of practise,

no one seems to realize now-a-days that using devices has that same skill window.

my father would be useless with a phone and gps app, but with the right charts and a sextant he can find his way around the sea.

in other words : navigating is difficult, and the tools you choose to use, be it GPS and electronics or the sun/compass/sextant require practice regardless.
