[QUOTE="Aries, post: 661051, member: 23389"] Wilf, In regards to the GPS, i know some will disagree but nowadays I think a second mobile phone is of more use. All topo (and geo) maps can be downloaded onto a phone with apps that are used frequently here (Trilobite, Happy Prospector). Most handheld GPS only offer rudimentary maps. The apps we use all offer "tracking " so you can retrace your steps. A PLB would be worth considering as well ( i use SPOT). I do have a GPS but find that it sits in glovebox of wagon all the time as i just take a fully charged phone when wandering on foot. The GPS function on phones works even without signal reception.
