But then when I look for new cell phone, I try to find the one with fewer features.
Ain't that the truth.
I saw a post on another hiking website that even for free, the Nokia maps weren't worth it. It wasn't clear whether they meant for trails, roads or both.
My son uses the GPS service from his cell provider, and says it works fine. But, it costs him $10/month for it.
Bigger and brighter works for me - somewhere around 3x5 or even 4x6 works great for me.
I held out re: a vehicle GPS until several months ago, and then got one. When it helped me find a location in Calgary, and later a meeting place in southern CT, both within tight timeframes, I was a believer. Now I wonder how I managed without it. Still use an atlas periodically when planning long trips to fix major points in my memory, but rarely use paper maps after that.
