Which is better: GPS, Map and Compass or Phone App

Which is best when you go out walking a Map and compass, a GPS or a mobile phone app? This is a very common question and in this video I can only give my personal opinion, which some people may disagree with. I would say there is no best or worst, but rather it all comes down to what is the most appropriate at the time. In some cases a map and compass is best and assuming that your batteries are fine, at other times a GPS would be a good idea and depending on where you are a phone app may be ideal. If you are competent with a Map and Compass there are hardly any circumstances when you’ll need to use a GPS, but I would suggest carrying one, as they do sometimes make relocation much faster and simpler – but you shouldn’t rely on them all the time. In town or when following roads a mobile phone app, such as Google Maps, MapQuest, HereWeGo, etc. would be ideal. I never tell anyone what they should go out and buy or use, so remember this is only my personal opinion, but if you’re comparing Map vs GPS vs App I hope you find it interesting and at least giving you a starting point.
