ah....but if you're in the middle of nowhere and; even if your backup
GPS is functional, but GPS is down; you're better off staying where
you are...even if you don't know where that is.

ah.... but if you have the ability to use other methods, not related to
GPS, there's no need to stay where you are, unless they too are down.
