Laura,
I whole hardly agree.
A GPS is great tool but my experience shows most don't know what they have. I don't know how many times I have asked "experienced hikers" to show me where they are on their map. Most times they don't have a map but if they do they can't.
For trail use, I find an altimeter adjusted to knowns every bit as useful.
