"Did many PCS (Permanent Change of Station) cross country while in the military. Had to have the maps to get to the new bases. My wife always read the map up-side-down and got us lost. So that was on my check list > right side up on the map."

Before GPS, if I let my wife navigate by compass we would have ended up at the North pole. ;)

Wouldn’t you have ended up at the magnetic North Pole (which is somewhere in northern Canada, a good distance from 90 degrees north on the globe)?
