I think I need to find a sat nav system more suited to wandering than the Magellan RoadMate I am borrowing from bedfull_o_books. I got good and lost in the wilds of Eastern Pennsylvania while wandering around late at night, which I wouldn't have done if I had brought my paper maps. But paper maps are bulky and I thought I would try the sat nav only method. That didn't work very well.

It's also possible the better answer is to get a smart phone.

Thoughts?

smart phone might not work in the "wilds". You need cell towers and such. Depends on how wild the wilds are :)

Also, if the "wandering" is driving around, trying to use your smart phone to navigate is pretty dangerous. (From experience trying to do it myself and seeing others do it).
