@atoponce is that the lines on the map that show if you are above or below sea level and by how much.
@atoponce I have what is considered now an old fashioned a-z map of the area I live in, great for finding where I am going to, but also keeps my eye on my surroundings, as i look at the map, plan the route.
Too many people are so fixed on their phones they are oblivious to people around them.
If it is raining then use a map cover which I also have.

@zleap Knowing how to read a topographic map also, so your path is both efficient and safe.
