I use onx on my phone with a good water proof case; downloaded all the maps in offline mode incase I dont have service.. I pair that with a battery bank with a flashlight mode on it and i'm set for back ups. I do carry a compass and spare set of AAA for the headlamp for peace of mind but havent had to use it. Yet..
