Default back up gps?

Ditto on what Bill T said. Electronics are great but they do quit. A
sectional or WAC of the area is in my opinion the thing to have
tucked in the cockpit. I also have foreflight on my i phone, thats
helps too as long as you have cell coverage. Dan

I use Foreflight, and it works without cell coverage for maps and routes
on my iPad and my iPhone. Foreflight is my "bag of maps" - no backup
paper maps in my cockpit!
