Buy a GPS at this stage of your trip and you'll spend all your time deeply irritated by the learning curve. Unless, that is, you're merely posturing about your own ignorance. You want to make your trip more complicated than it already is? Look at how frustrating mechanical stuff on a simple, old-technology motorbike can get.
In the end, it doesn't matter. Take maps, take GPS, take nothing and leach off your fellow riders. But: if you really crave information and the sharing of perspectives, consider doing a search on this site. You are far from the first to start such a thread.
If "can of worms" is your objective, count me out.
enjoy,
Mark
