I understand the point made by OregonMouse and others about the desire to hang onto paper maps because it wasn't an easy choice and I admit to hanging on to my one Forest Service Map just in case but I'm committed to saving as many trees as possible. I've been using either gps units or a smartphones for about 18 years without any tech failures and if power should fail then solar devices easily charge a phone plus I'm familiar enough with the mountain ranges for many miles around to find my way without a map or smartphone.

Make no mistake,I don't like giving up paper maps but it comes down to making sacrifices to save our forests.

By the way, I too am a senior on a budget but used smartphones can be purchased on Ebay cheap.
