GPS is great, but common sense and an overall knowledge of basic navigation go much further.
I have 5000 acres of woods behind my home that I enjoy hiking in. I navigate the marked trails for the most part. Some trails are better marked than others. I use the Avenza trail maps which are GPS enabled, but only as a tertiary source of navigation. Primary source: my knowledge of the terrain, destination, & understanding of my bearings / heading...etc. Secondary source: the trail markings (trail continues this way, switchback, intersection...etc).
The same can be applied to travelling on the road - primary source of navigation: my research on how to get to said destination. Secondary: road signs. Third: GPS nav system.
