Interesting implications, perhaps the global positioning system is not as infallible as we thought

    I don’t think they’re that disparate, and my background isn’t ant different than yours. I work in ArcGIS every day and have played video games and ttrpg for 30 years now.

      Do you go outside and use the maps? And navigate in the field with a compass? I am sorry but yes, obviously using a computer program is going to be somewhat similar to playing a video game.

      Making maps and using maps are not the same skills.

          Do you? ArcGIS and navigating in the field are not the same thing. I assume you don’t, or else you wouldn’t have brought up a tangentially related skill?

          You’re just saying my mind is made up because you don’t have anything to contribute to the discussion lol
