GPS can do some neat stuff, but I haven't felt the need to carry one yet. Once I backpacked in West Virginia where the forest was real thick and the mountains were short and you couldn't get a view of the land - that would have been a good place for GPS. I usually backpack in small Texas parks or mountains with big views and really big landmarks so it's easy to know where you are.

There's also the possibility that I'm just cheap and don't want anything else to have to mess with. I have a friend who takes a GPS everywhere ever since he got lost on a safari in Africa.
