I'm as inconsistent and hypocritical as hell, cuz I like to have a map, and I enjoy all the creature comforts of modern canoe camping.


So you have answered your own question, haven't you? To me, A GPS is to a map what a kevlar canoe is to an aluminum canoe.  Or what a led head lamp is to a 2-D battery handheld.  Or a canvas tent is to a nylon.  Etc.  We make decisions on which of the technologies we wish to bring with us. (Although I do put things like phones and radios in another category because they bring things from the outside world into the wilderness.)
