[QUOTE="Black Titan, post: 5435684, member: 23161"] I had originally planned to use my phones GPS with Google maps, but got concerned about getting in a situation of being lost and having no signal, or worst case extending beyond my battery's life on my phone. In order to back that up, I would need to carry a portable battery pack to charge my phone, which increases my weight substantially. For the portable GPS, it runs off 2 AA batteries and battery life is over 24 hours continuous, so half dozen extra AA batteries is the lighter option for me. I still plan to use the phone as primary, if it works, but like having the peace of mind of the other GPS if I need it, and I also quite like the waypoint and breadcrumb feature of my garmin.
