Some points......
GPS does require a compass to confirm data.
GPS don't work under all conditions.
Knowing where you are is easier and faster with GPS. But that's no good without a map.
A compass is far more reliable. (I used them years before I ever heard of GPS)
Topographical maps are as important as the other two. Unless you have a bigger picture than the one you're looking at you're probably going to stumble around in the woods for a while.
Until my retirement a couple of years ago I taught at a military (Army) SAR school. I continued to sit in on land navigation courses that were offered, reviewed map symbolism, and sought to increase my knowledge. The truth is that GPS, compasses and topo maps work well together and provide redundancy in the field. I often carried 2 compasses and two GPS units in the map case.
