Hey, topos are still in style. That is all I use. A topo with a cave location
is the simplest thing.
You have not navigated until the one klick grid is solid green and no contour
lines or blue lines and your life depended on knowing where your were. Ask me
how we did it and I will tell you a story at the NM convention coming up fast.

Charles and David: I thought Navigon was a bit pricy, particularly since long
ago I had purchased iHike, following many years of use of MacGPS Pro on a Mac.
[https://www.ihikegps.com/] "No charges for Maps…Ever" . Download your maps
when you have internet access. Take track logs and set waypoints in the field,
and if you missed a map you can download it later to see where that new-found
cave waypoint is located. Sailors will be interested in a related IOS
application called iSail. Larry James does a great job updating his apps and
listens to his user's suggestions.

I'd suggest using your smartphone, and IMHO, google maps is superior to
anything else, including the dedicated ones. The fact that it's always
updating and you can send corrections as well is great.
It will do offline mapping, but it isn't the best at that. I do keep another
app on my iPhone as a backup that has offline maps, Navigon.

This may surprise the young cavers, but just about 5 years ago, most cavers did
not have any kind of street navigation gadget in their cars.
I can only guess that 40% either have a dedicated navigation gadget in their
car, or they mount their large smartphone or phablets in a bracket.
I hope to purchase a dedicated navigation gadget this week.
Anybody have any tips ?
Is a touch-screen an important feature ?
Is a slim model an important feature ?
Does brand matter ?
Why not just get a 2nd phone line ?
