Any smart phone these days will give you a position fix to plot on a chart. No need to be robust, keep it in your pocket or luggage. Unless you want to follow your plot on maps. Live. And then maybe load custom off-road or Topo maps. And then maybe have them route able for trip planning, etc...

Still got this? I'm interested if so...
