The phone is a bit slow but I normally need the breather anyway.
I've been using a Garmin eTrex20 for the past few years and it's been great. Locks on to the Russian satellites as well as the normal US ones as well and gets a quick fix. Works amazing well under heavy bush cover. I just turn it on, get a lock, place it in my pocket and head off hunting. I use good AA batteries and get a good run out of the device (just carry a spare set). Have even been able to back track and relocate my best hunting cap I lost crawling through thick scrub on more than one occasion. I also download tracks onto my computer and plot on google earth. You can see all the places you walked and hunted. Sometimes I also mark waypoints where I see lots of sign. There not as easy and intuitive to use as smart phone and have a small screen but are still a great little unit and gives you much more confidence when hunting new country in the bush off the beaten track. Still always take a compas and make mental notes of where I am hunting. Wouldn't hunt without one now except in areas I know very well.
