OnX maps. If you have a smartphone, this is definitely the way to go. You can save maps for offline use, so if you lose cell service, you can still pull the map up. GPS doesn't rely on cell service, so you can still find your location if you lose service. Plus with OnX, you can see property boundaries and landowner names. I bought a handheld Garmin GPS several years ago, but I've only used it once or twice since discovering OnX.

What didn't you like about the responses you got to the thread you opened yesterday?

I have a Harmon and never use it. I use my lensatic compass.

My farming is easy to use but things can go wrong. Compass as your back up
