Onx. I use mine for deer hunting, fishing and trapping. Works good on my iPhone plus all my waypoints are saved to my laptop automatically as they are entered into my phone. Can basically scout for land ownership, contours and road systems right from the couch.

If someone has done better than you, you settled for less but, it's not their fault.

All smartphones cone with gps enabled mapa, Google or apple. Just a matter of figuring out where you're facing and being able to hold the line of travel.

I have a small basic hand held GPS unit that stows away anywhere including a pocket. I enter the jump off point if in new country and I never think about how to get back. Im pretty good at wandering.

I am old fasion and like to have a paper map like fishing hot spots or similar I can see details on paper yet I don't see on a screen
I also carry and use paper charts or maps. Not prudent to rely on any single thing for navigation. Personally I usually know exactly where I am at all times. Not comfortable otherwise

But must have signal and degree of resolution can be iffy. You're less likely to lose GPS signal than cell signal. You can have the areas predownloaded. Resolution isnt an issue if your goal is to get home. If you're flagging sets you're better off with handheld GPS.

Learn to use a map compass and astrolabe and you will always know where you are.Even in the middle of nowhere.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
