Personally I've never liked 'em. They're not that detailed and they run out of batteries faster than you could ever replace them. One of my main points of pride is that I can look at a map and instantly see it from an on-the-ground perspective, so except in very confusing terrain I've never had a need for one. But looking around this forum everyone seems to have one, and seem to love them and use them too, even if just as a backup. It just occured to me (I'm not condemning anyone!) that it's not really very bushcrafty, being a bit of a high-tech gadget that at the end of the day isn't essential...? :?:
So I thought I'd make this poll to see how you all feel about them! Feel free to post all your points of view :wave:
