My principal had a GPS in the Green Swamp a few years ago...there was tons of cloud cover so it didn't work.He was lost for 10 hours.
.I was a point man in the military and can uae a compass very well.. I print out maps off of google earth and shoot my asthmus right from my house. Yesterday at Three Lakes I couldn't find my trail tacks..very foggy ..I brought out the trusty 4.99 Walmart compass..and shot my asthmus at 320 degrees..spot on..
I love my compass..but .for my automobile..I love my GPS.

Quite a few years ago there was hunter walking around. He stated he was in the army and had a sense of direction. After watching him walk around for a while with his his sense of direction, that must have come from a comic book , because he was lost and would not admit to it.
Take both gps, compass and a set of backup batteries. The same type should work for your gps and flashlight just in case you are out there at night. BTW, some Gps's do not work in the cypress domes. They are too dense.
