I agree about the good compass --I have the military tritium model -- but a GPS for most people is very expensive and not needed for most survival situations as in a terrorist attack or tornado or hurricane or other natural disaster. [ for backpackers and wilderness people, I can see it, but not for most city dwellers IMO]. Plus it is vulnerable to EMP as are most modern electronics. And I do have an AM-FM small portable Grundig in my BOB.
