SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) – Travelers in the western U.S. should not rely solely on technology such as GPS for navigation, authorities said, after a Canadian couple were lost in the Nevada wilderness for 48 days.This is what 'civilization' gets you. Darwin was right.

I'll stick with my map and compass, thanks.
I'm pretty confident in my GPS, but I wouldn't travel out into the wilderness without backup options and knowing how to use them.
The thing about Nevada is that there are very few landmarks, and they all look the same.
Lost for 48 days? Now there's an example of determination! My wife would be nagging me to pull over and ask for directions after at least 5 days...
