A technique you will use every day in many situations. If you know where you are and how fast you move you can predict where you will be after some time. If you have a good compass and know your (ground) speed well you can even do some navigation with this method. Even with the navigational tools that are available today you will rely on this method without knowing it. For long tracks without radio beacons nearby (and no GPS) it is the only way to navigate. | A technique you will use every day in many situations.
