Does anyone know how to use a sextant? I have my grandfather's old one (he was in the Merchant Marine) but I haven't the faintest idea how to use it.

If I were to teach a class on using a GPS, I would start out using a compass, and then show the functionality of the GPS. I've been working on a project to teach how the gps functions. My mother has been thinking of having me show the girls in her church group about using a gps. I'm planning on gearing the class for teens and pre-teens.
I would really be impressed if they were using sextants for their navagation. Come to think about it, I would consider paying $75 for a class on using sextants. But for doing my road/off road navagation, pry my GPS from my cold dead hands.
