Ouch,
I guess your GPS didn't have routing on it so you can reverse route. I've
found them extremely helpful as long as you plug in your starting (or where
you wan to end) point. New ones are much more able to maintain a signal in
spite of limited visibility of the satellites and all I have used have a
backlight. I don't travel in the woods in the dark without a flashlight
anyway.
