Steven,

I use a Samsung Galaxy S on Verizon and BackCountry Navigator (I think 
its a $10.00 app).  BCN allows you to download Topo and road  maps from 
a variety of sources to the SD card (I've got about 12 GB's loaded on a 
16 GB SC card at this time).  I normally carry 2 or 3 spare batteries 
and a lightweight charger.  Normally I only turn it on when I need it, 
otherwise its left off in a waterproof bag.

Works great, I normally leave the data and cell service turned off to 
extend my battery life.

Chris
