Hello all!! Taken into account todays newest technology, the type of tour and location (US) is it more economical and feasible to use a smart phone on tour for GPS, telephone, occasional internet access (Journal updates on CGOAB)??? OR is better to use a basic phone for emergencies, and carry a micro computer to use with the occasional wifi??

With that in mind, which solar charger do you pack into your pannier for economy and capability?

Thanks
