Not sure what this all proves about tablets. I agree with you of course. Nuts to go hiking with no map and a phone for a GPS. You hike you carry a dedicated GPS with AA batteries. What you going to do when the phone runs out of power? Also all GPS devices have a weakness in that under trees, with bad weather and so on they may not reliably pick up a signal. Hardly an issue to call Apple out on.
