I've never traveled before, but I'm about to set off on my first trip. I've pretty much got my bag packed and everything set...except my iPhone.
I've read from a lot of you that it's a good idea to have a GPS (and since it's my first time, I'd like to know where the fuck I am). It'd be nice to have internet with me instead of walking to the local library, bookstore, etc. I'm just worried about possible water damage, being slammed around, things like that. I'd like to know from you experienced StP people, should I just get a cheap pre-paid phone so I don't have to worry and just use a map, or do you think my phone would be okay? I've seen lots of travelers with netbooks and cameras, so I wasn't sure.
(This seemed like such an obvious question that when I searched the forums and found NOTHING, I was really suprised...So, if skipped past the thread about it, I'm sorry!)
