[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1248410, member: 1656"] I've become cautious relying on GPS on a phone. Open up in the mountains, OK. But if their is any kind of obstruction…canyon, trees, etc…watch out. The reception is nowhere near as good as a dedicated Garmin. Several years ago I was turkey hunting a forested area of Indiana relatively rugged by Eastern standards. I had had no issues in this property with a Garmin previous years. So I left it at home and carried my Samsung with Gaia. Big mistake. I could not get reception, and risked getting lost and turned into an area of state land big enough to make it a big bad day. I ended up getting myself out by dead reckoning without the device, lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
