    A lot of people don’t understand that GPS requires no cell service to function, so it’s no surprise that many accept that they have to pay monthly for a "service* that has no ongoing support costs to the seller.

      Correct me if I’m wrong, but GPS doesn’t allow for communication. Not sure I understand what you’re saying.

        I wasn’t meaning to refer to hiking situation directly, just giving an example of how people don’t always understand enough about a service to know if they should need to pay for it.

        Sorry for the confusion.
