I wouldn't worry about it, plenty of people still use this term. :D

So you'll know exactly where you left your nose hairs. :)

But Casio have had on the market - for a few years now - a wristwatch with GPS capabilities.

It's actually quite a clever device, and provides about 90 minutes of battery life when you're using the GPS facility.

Which, when you think about it, is just enough time for you to wander into a forest and get well and truly lost.

At which time the battery goes flat and you can now remain lost until that search party comes to find you.

And then you'll use your mobile phone and find that even though the Telstra range map shows you in range, you can't get a signal. Oh well, at least you'll be able to listen to your FM radio while you wander about, starving to death :D
