True !  (Unfortunately for me).
I went up over the hill 3->2 instead of the huge zigzag shown, and 
luckily I didn't go as far afield
to the South as this one shows (but I did make a significant westerly 
excursion). In 4 minutes you can very quickly
muck up a good route with just one poor bearing.

If we all carried logging GPS's (like the Garmin Forerunners) it could 
be very interesting to see the route
afterwards (and also very embarrassing of course).

PS: Oziexporer now includes Garmin Forerunners in it's standard GPS list 
so it has support for the track
and you can download waypoints to it. Note that "control" events entered 
are not waypoints but "something
else" and they do not appear.
Unfortunately you get all tracks ever stored on the unit rather than 
just the lastest unless you actually go
in an delete all the old events !

Cheers,
Bruce
