A while back we made a hospital run to a major city in our region- Calgary. They insisted on using this nonsense.
We did get to the hospital, but redirected through two school zones to do this.
Later on I picked up a city map, and turned off the hearing aids

I have OnX on my phone and I also have a heavier Garmin GPS with an OnX chip. I find them very useful. However, I also always have a compass. In this open country, if you can read a compass, you can usually get yourself found, map or not, unless you need pinpoint accuracy. Of course having a map is better but it's usually not needed for getting un-lost.
