I think intuition can't be forgotten too.
We know how the sun rises and sets, and when in a forest moss is also most prevalent on the North side.
Years ago, and still have, is an ancient Garmin Etrex 30. It's a blessed thing and outdated (although it does use normal batteries so doesn't need a charge) but I know it will get me home / where I want to go eventually; but it really needs to be used with a good old map. I still think a map is best for overall route planning.
I just photocopy map sections normally and have them stuffed in the back pocket to protect the originals.
