I initially wanna say I am sorry for "wasting" a post on "arguing" an opinion but after reading the post twice I had to comment - for someone to think they do not need a GPS in utah is OBSURD! As others have pointed out they can be key for the backpacking/hunting situation and just as important in finding that exact submerged structure for fishing - once you have a GPS with good/great maps fishing is never the same. You can go to a new lake and simply by looking over the map get a great idea on where you should be fishing and also how to get there. Did this exact thing this past week on Rainy Lake ("#1 smallmouth lake in the world" - some mags claim) on the Canadian/Minnesota border - it is 72 miles long and has 1600+ islands with 1500+miles of shoreline. Whether it is a lake like this or a reservoir as simple as Willard it can be very beneficial if not a complete necessity to have - without even mentioning it can save your life!
