I was maybe a half mile after a control, ran across someone that was totally lost that was using a cue sheet. I backtracked with him to the control so that he would know exactly where he was to reset his bearings and start fresh knowing where on the cue sheet he was at.
I have never tried cue sheets, but I am a geological engineer (retired) and worked with maps every day of my professional career. I bought my first of many GPS units over two decades ago. My brain is not wired right to do cue sheets. I want to see a map, and better yet if the electronics can say exactly where I am on that map.
