> Yea... take extra batteries!
When I took flight lessons to get my private pilot certificate, my
brother loaned me his fancy aviation handheld GPS to carry on cross
country flights just in case I got lost (like he did as a student pilot).
Before one of my solo XC flights, my instructor was briefing me
including reviewing lost procedures. He asked what I would do if I got
lost, and I reached into my bag and pulled out the handy GPS unit. Then
he asks what I will do when the batteries died, and I pulled out the
extra batteries. 8^) I never needed to use that sucker but I was glad
to have it there.

Re: GPS
Del, on the second leg of my final x-country flight a dozen years ago, I was
supposed to land at Barstow airport out in the southern California desert.
I naturally wasn't exactly sure of where I was at all times but I managed to
get to what I thought was Barstow and I landed at the nearly deserted and
mostly inactive airport. I walked into the office and the long-haired
desert rat sitting behind the desk saw me, saw my pilot's log book marking
me as a student pilot, and gave me a big 'Howdy, welcome to Yermo Airport!"
I about fell through the floor thinking I had mis-navigated and he had me
going about how Barstow was 'up yonder that-away about 22 miles, how'd you
miss it? kind of stuff. I finally caught on and figured he pulls that on
ever student pilot... his only entertainment at that god-forsaken airport.
