That’s assuming you have cell service. Lots of outdoors places do not. Satphone / locator devices are a good idea though.

Sure, you can always use it to play solitare or as a light, compass, etc.

Phones are excellent for navigation, and there are multiple topo maps available that can be downloaded and used offline.

Paper maps and compass.

Even if your destination doesn't have signal, it will still be useful for part of the journey.

I do also have a PLB for this reason.

That’s what they’re called! Personal locator beacons. The name was escaping me.

Anyway, I just think people are little too dependent on phones and service. Different now a bit with the latest iphone allowing some sat e911 sms features. I rarely get service when I go out camping, personally.
