GPS can tell you exactly where you are, and nothing more. It can’t tell anyone else where you are, it can’t teach you to read a map if you don’t have the skills. It can’t tell you the best route through dense jungle terrain if you don’t have the skillset.

But it should be able to point you back to the hiking path, or retrace your steps backwards, as long as it's connected to mapping app.

Just because it can't do everything doesn't mean it can't do anything.
