Hi paganman,
Good luck with your rock art hunting. A lot of people on this website can help if you let us know in which area you are searching.
Wherever you go, my advice is to get a 1:25,000 O.S. map, and a compass. Learn how to use them - there's lots of stuff on the internet on how to use them. The key is the accuracy of your navigation, when in the wilds, but a little less so when elsewhere.
All the best,
TE.
Not ideal .I seem to remember Paganman had tried using a map looking for the rock art at Ballochraggan ,and failed .look at Posties experience with map , probably a compass and 10 figure grid refs .

This is not untypical .
If you want to actually go straight to the site, use a GPS ,but getting lost with a map might help you develop a nose for where rock art might be sited if a lot more time consuming and possibly may end in failure . Even better just go looking with none of the above ,it'll be much slower but you'll learn a lot more .
