[QUOTE="Sam Shoun, post: 2616145, member: 15489"] Thanks for everyone's replies. I also spent some time reading about how to use an Apple device as a GPS (satellite, not ground-based). It seems it's actually pretty capable, provided you get an app that allows downloaded maps. I found this article: [url]http://adventurealan.com/iphone4gps.htm[/url] One of the apps he mentions, Maplets, is an extremely cool idea. I bought it (it's $3), but have yet to successfully post my own maps. I've also put in requests for the Oklahoma's WMA maps to be added. I'll report back on any progress. Another app I found, which I find to be flat out awesome, is OnX Hunt, which I'm running on an iPad 4. The app is free, and you get a free six-day trial with the maps/features. There's a $30 annual fee (price on their website is lower than the in-app purchase) for each state you choose. There's USGS and ESRI topo and imagery, plus open source street maps with WMA and public land boundaries overlayed. I tinkered with it a couple days, then went ahead and paid the $30 for Oklahoma. I'd still like to have a stand-alone GPS though, particularly one designed with a little more field-friendly ruggedness. I'll check out these Garmin models. [/QUOTE]
