[pct-l] Gps and maps

[Craig Stanton]

I think I saw one person with a proper mapping GPS on the trail this  
year. Some of Team Snow-plough bought one in northern Washington  
because the trail was buried under feet of snow, but you'll find that  
the trail is pretty clear almost all of the way. So long as you look  
at the maps and know which way to turn at a junction you *probably*  
won't wander off trail and if you do you'll notice.

That being said I know some people who did keep going off in strange  
directions. So if you're geographically challenged and don't notice  
signs up on trees maybe a GPS wouldn't be a bad thing.
