Yeah they mess my sight even worse. I used to love them. But now after a short time they screw up my vision.+3 power cheater readers!!!
Now for a Jeep I can agree on. Although we still used maps for that.Mines on iphone XR, i use with 1.5 cheaters,find it works fine.I do like ipad in jeep for off roading and general map viewing
I place more value in the water than a ipad.IPads are neither large or heavy. The water you carry weighs more.
You could always buy BIGGER GLASSES!At first glance carrying an Ipad around in the field seems excessive. But I must admit that looking at small screens at my age is getting very hard.
I argue with my GPS regularly. My direction sense is much better. If I have been to a place, even in childhood, I can find my way back. Guessing there was at least one pigeon in my ancestry.I'm serious lol. I read something about losing spatial awareness or something like that from using GPS units. I have noticed I'm losing some sense of direction and wonder if it's from using GPS units. Plus you can figure out distances by using a map. Good backup for ranging targets.
For me that just makes it worse. My eye doctor says due to astigmatism.You could always buy BIGGER GLASSES!
For me the GPS is worth it's weight in gold during a fogged in situation or white out snow. I got fogged in once and couldn't land nav off of known points or the sun because I couldn't see them. Luckily my sense of direction got me back to the truck. I'm not against GPS, I'm for them. But I'm not going to lug and ipad around.I argue with my GPS regularly. My direction sense is much better.

Ranging, blessed with eyes that still work okay. But I do use my scope for verification.
But, (there's that word), if I am in an area with a lot of ferrous metal, my sense of direction and location is gone. I can track well, but a GPS does come in handy.
Have fun, be safe.
