>>1974039Like I said pretty much whenever I need to confirm my position real quick against landmarks or pick something further out. Do I really NEED it? maybe not but I like being able to tell precise bearings instead of "this way, kind of"
I also have GPS but still use it regularly as redundancy and they complement each other.

btw having mirrors incurs some weight penalty
