I now have maps and files (and books and games and ...) in my old iPod Touch and it works great for taking along on hikes. I could still do that and not have to spend new money for more tech that I don't really need, although the breadcrumb navigation thing on the InReach Explore is attractive. I have managed to stay found for a whole lot of years without a GPS.
Good idea to visit a store and hold one of these things in my hand, see how I like the keyboard and screen. Will do. And thanks!
