Point of order - the electrical grid can be really handy as a navigation aid when walking; it rarely changes (though, perhaps sadly, some long established routes are being buried here in the UK) and is fairly/very visible. Whilst the power line running down your street might not help, the line of towers across the local hillside might be the difference between wandering lost for hours and a fast route out. Map the heck out of it.
