If you want to cross a desert on your own, does a GPS make it significantly less dangerous? (This would be my main reason for buying one.) Would the desert experts amongst you consider a solo desert crossing to be stupidly reckless, even with a GPS?

Hai,

Although I am no desert expert I do know the awnser to both questions:

Yes, a GPS significantly helps with dessert-crossing. It's hard to navigate by a map if there are little or no landmarks. GPS helps with this.

Yes, atempting to cross the dessert on your own for the first time is .... not very smart.

Hope this helps.
