There are all sorts of things that can save your life that cost considerably less than £90. So it really doesn't pay to start criticising like this for equipment choices or you start off down a *very* rocky road.

Listening to Tayside MRT folk talking about this incident at the DMFF on Friday nobody seemed to be mentioning GPSs, but a general level of Cluefulness seemed to be me more on folks' minds.
