Default How do you find your way?

I'm sure some of us ever get lost when we are trying to get to the camping location. Are you relying on GPS in your car. Or you always use the map? Or you prefer to asking for directions?

I rely in all of the above said things. Everything helps at some point of time. Gps is always reliable and i use it. But in some location, we wontn get the exact place there, i use the other two options.

Default I'm too cheap

I still won't pry open my wallet enough to get a GPS, and I know it would be a good investment. It's just that as long as I have a compass, decent map and a cell phone I feel pretty secure.

with the modern technologies we just simple use GPS but the cost is expensive. If you your insufficient budget can use compass as alternative but make sure you know how to use compass. The cheapest is bring maps with you when traveling.

Lets just say I couldn't find my house if it wasn't for the help of my GPS. Seriously, it is one of the greatest inventions ever made. I always use it on trips out of state and it helps me avoid the hassle of getting lost. I can really focus all my intention to having fun and enjoying my trip.

I like to look into the GPS in my mobile phone. Asking directions would be difficult as it would be hard to find someone who is ready to help us.

If I lost my way, I will ask to somebody who is there..
If none of person with us then I call to some of my relatives who is aware from that place and find out my way easily.

I will always carry an map of the location which i am visiting so that if i get lost i can find my way back.I will call my friends i cant find my way out.The best thin is take a map and compass with you for finding direction.

i prefer maps in compare of gps because maps get you more interesting thing to find out ways.and i think map is made for only camping.
and i used to go with maps in camping and i don't want to go with gps just stick with maps.
