So the guys and I were talking about a hunting trip this year. The old stories came out and thoughts of being lost in the woods were discussed, not that it has or ever could happen to any of us. During the discussion, we were talking about the options out there for GPS devices either on smart phones, or by satellite.
My first question is:
If we've all got smart phones, is there any reason for us to buy regular hand held GPS units?
Part two:
We're going to hunting in a place that doesn't have cell phone coverage, or at least we have to assume that it won't. I'm not completely sure how the GPS on smart phones works, but would the GPS still work in an area where the smart phone can't make a call?
