Feature idea:
Wilderness mode.
How would it work?
Well, first you'd set up some waypoints, and then enable "wilderness mode", optionally you then plug headphones and stick one/two in your ear...
Then you start walking, and peridically MM will tell you something like "Waypoint one 20 degrees left, Waypoint one 5 degrees left" (any other ways? sound? different kind of beeps?, stereo sound (surround sound would be nice) ) and you keep walking.
Ofcourse you could customize the way it reports, how often, how verbose etc. (Waypoint two - 50 degrees left, 10km, eta 3 hours) . Perhaps you could also click some button and MM then tells you more info about other waypoints etc.
P.S Here's an interesting way to feel where North is:

EDIT: added a feature request to the MM garage page.
