I use NZTopo on my phone for gps location. Also have an inreach mini. And a plb. If I had to leave one of these behind, I'd take the plb first, then my cellphone and leave the inreach behind. If...

'Trialling' is a bit of a long bow...trialling against what set of parameters? Trialling against what other contenders? Having a play at attempting to be green for the bosses is about all the Ubco...

I use my cellphone + NZ Topo50 app for all my navigation now. You do not need cellphone reception to establish you position or track. My phone is in Flight Mode to save battery life most of the time.
