while I still like having a paper map if possible as a backup if necessary, realistically using a gps or google maps on my phone for check ups is pretty much the norm nowadays.
As a bunch of old farts here, I think even the majority of us have come to the realization that the tools we have available now are super useful and just plain work.

I figure its an added bonus having the background of using only maps can help sometimes having a bigger picture thing going on in our heads, or to use if there is a technical issue, but really, modern navigation is fantastic and makes all the off road, back country trips we do so much more doable and simple.

If all of a sudden all the satellites go kaput, we are all fracked, but hey, thats unlikely, and we'll figure things out.
