Do I need a GPS in Alaska?
I am planning a trip from Victoria BC to Alaska and was wondering if I need a GPS Navigation unit for use in Alaska? or is it map friendly enough. thanks

Most GPS units allow you to download Points-Of-Interest (POIs) and the Discovery Owners RV Web site has a lot of these files for RVers. I've downloaded the POI files that list things like dump stations, National State/Provincial Parks, most RV parks, etc. It can be handy when you're looking for a place to stop for the night to pull up one of these lists, select a park to stop at and have the GPS navigate you there.
Unfortunately on my trip to Alaska last summer I screwed up the files and they weren't usable for me in the RV GPS. Luckily I had a smart phone with a lot of the campground information loaded. Luckier still, since I was headed back to my childhood home, I have a good friend with an RV spot on a lake in his backyard. He even had power waiting for me.
