Yep, right on. For a day hike or simple trail, I'll trust my phone maps and Garmin GPS. Anything beyond that, I'm bringing a map and compass as a backup because they don't require power and the good ones still work even if wet.

Even for a simple day hike, I'll usually print out a map because it's quicker than using my phone.
