> GPS' are great, I own three, but they should never be used in a
situation such as Philmont without a backup,
I agree, but I would eliminate the "in a situation such as Philmont"
qualifier. IMO a GPS should never be used anywhere without a backup,
even if that "backup" is familiarity with the area, a roadmap, or the
ability to stop and ask someone for directions.
Happy Trails,
Roy Fisher
