In the boonies on foot its map and compass. I have a gps and use it, but consider it a fun techie toy that will fail at the worst possible moment. On the road I use a gps, but again have a map as backup. Odd as it probably sounds I use the position of the sun to keep my directional bearings. That didn’t work well on my recent month long trip to FL, though, we didn’t see much sun.
The gps is handy for finding specific locations and I like the projected arrival times, but not much value otherwise. I prefer a map if I have to make a choice.I’m older generation, too, and learned to make my way sans all the gadgets. I imagine the younger generation is much more reliant on them, I just wonder what they fall back on if they fail.
