I know I cannot stop this practice from happening, but I do not have to be a part of it. There are appropriate uses for a GPS. I even recommend a GPS for some places in my guidebook. The high plateaus "flats" in the Wind Rivers have few features to tie to navigation by map. I have gone in a few circles myself on these plateaus! But always managed to get where I needed to. A GPS in this terrain is very useful and may save someone from getting caught in a storm. A GPS is a useful tool, but if you honestly think you HAVE TO have a GPS to stay "found" you have no business doing off trail routes.
