Having encountered similar problems, I am thinking about investing in good topo maps of areas I frequently hike. I think that hiking may be best suited to options that don't require connection to the internet. REI seems to have a selection of paper and cd-rom topo maps.
I'm also starting a "basic hiking class" at the AMC in Boston next week. I'll let you know if they have any suggestions.
