Vent: My old route planning was just scribbles on a map until I got lost in the Wind River Range

Now I use CalTopo to plot everything, even my water sources, after spending a cold night off-trail. Anyone else have a specific tool that saved them from a real mess?

Heard a podcast where a guy swore by Gaia GPS for that exact reason.

Read a review that said the same thing.

Did the guy on the podcast mention if he uses the paid version or just the free one?

The Wind River Range with just scribbles on a map? That's a whole new level of brave, or maybe crazy. I got turned around for two hours in a state park with bad notes once. Wandering off trail up there with no real plan sounds like a fast way to become a news story.
