[QUOTE="DrDuck, post: 577550, member: 158"] If you have a smart phone there are a number of useful GPS apps that are a viable backup to a dedicated GPS unit. Best practice would be to have a GPS and use the phone as a backup. I like to have Memory Maps installed on my phone, with all the topo maps for NSW loaded. Battery life is no problem, I get two days out of my phone, or up to a week in airplane mode. The GPS still works while in airplane mode. It is quite useful. [/QUOTE]
