How is this relevant to the topic? Has anyone here questioned the need for
charts (except when flying in familiar areas) ?

It has been asserted that a compass alone is sufficient. But it's not. You
need charts or other sources of information in order to make a compass useful.

While one method of using a compass alone has been given here, it would only
be useful in populated areas. If you're truly out in the wilderness, it won't
help.
