As much as it pains me to admit it, I have no knowledge about these things.
I am quite comfortable using a map and compass, indeed I teach navigation to a few youth organizations. However it is becoming aparent that I am turning into a dinosaur in not keeping up with technology!
What I am trying to find out is;
How expensive is the technology to buy and maintain? ... and how cheaply could I get away with?
Do you have to "buy" extra information like different scale maps?
Could a "Smart phone App" do something similar? - Please bear in mind that, while I'm thinking of upgrading, I don't have one of those either and it is likely to take an age for me to learn how to drive it!
... And anything else I'm going to need to know
TIA
