Added the Ram Mount for my Garmin GPSMAP66i with Inreach technology. With my onX OffRoad and this little bit of technology, I’ll never get lost! And, if I do….I’m Inreach!

Never say never 
It has taken me several years to realize this... you may know exactly where you are on a base map, but that doesn't necessarily mean you know where you are.

Where's the fun in that?
Years ago when GPS first came out, I got a small handheld. The guys in my club said I took the fun out of getting lost. The big difference between then and now is planning. I would explore to add in spots on my map. Now I explore with the internet and plan on my computer.
Still there's noting more exciting then having everyone standing in a group, in the middle of the night trying to figure out which way is camp.

Agree completely. And, knowing how to read a map and use a compass is necessary skill because electronics fail and batteries run down. So, never get lost made for good click bait!

So, we’re headed north this summer, way north, as far as one can drive north. We have paper maps, two compasses, a guide book and a PLB. The phone will be useless. Good to go

Oh you have a rig that runs on petrol?
And a map? using roads
Back in my day, we only used the stars and canvas covered wagons.
And don’t even get me started on the move away from hunter-gathering
Overlanding has…
(This is a joke)
Hope the gps and inreach work well
Hope the paper maps work well also!

It will be more fun if you get lost and try to search your destination by using a real map and that is by asking local people. This way you will never forget otherwise you will get used to technology.
