    iPhone for GPS and photos, carry a compass, but it's not so useful without paper maps. PLB is in the future sometime, but definitely keen on limiting my dependence on tech, too. It'd be pretty embarrassing to get lost out there because my batteries went flat or I fell in the river and fried everything .

    Does iPhone GPS work without cell signal? I thought they only use assisted gps, not a real receiver?

    But then again, my wife is the techno junkie, IT wizard, I normally inherit the previous model, couple years after the fact

    PLB (aka solo tramping passport), compass & maps
