[QUOTE="Magnus Stout, post: 1508688, member: 17448"] I actually picked up a Garmin GPS for the road. Cell GPS will talk to cell towers along the way (old skool GPS does not). Get a paper map as well. Last year they stared rolling out a system between US states that would (1) register you as a visitor from out-of-state, and then (2) prompt you to complete a web form (allegedly for Covid) on your phone. Uh, no thank you (if using a paper map/ old skool GPS). If/when things get weirder (say, interstate border checks), they will start with iOS/Android devices first (90%+ of people). Heck, in Massachusetts, Google force-downloaded a Covid contact-tracing app for everyone. Apple already added Covid-bits to their software last year. Using something like a Pinephone helps to reduce their control over you. One other bit: start creating your own curated media (I use Plex to store MP3s and video in my own sanitized cloud). Netflix and Amazon are pushing trans-nonsense and other evils more and more. You need to basically blacklist everything, and then carefully add stuff. It's tiresome, but important with children.
