They are inexpensive enough to toss one in every kit! It is a little more compact, so it fits better in my waist pack, or in my cargo pants side pocket.

Dont rely on gps so solely that you lose the ability to navigate without it

Yes a gps map is nice for orienting yourself but nothing beats just following along on your map with a compass on the floor of your canoe beside it
