"In grid-based cities, remember that odd-numbered streets often run in one direction and even-numbered in the other. This makes it easier to orient yourself when emerging from subway stations."
"Always take a photo of the trailhead map with your phone before starting a hike. Even if you lose signal, you'll have a reference point if your primary navigation fails."
"When using GPS navigation for long trips, switch to airplane mode and only enable location services. This can extend battery life dramatically while still maintaining navigation functions."
