Using the GPS as the only navigational tool is not a natural thing to me. I like to have a second chance. But as a companion in the Baltic sea it's very helpful. It's easy to loose orientation when navigating in an archipelago and it's fun to see afterwards where you actually was. You may even be able to go to the same places again. So I'm not going to give up. I'll rather use some of the good advice from my fellow paddlers to keep the electronics alive. http://www.sydstevns.dk/kajak/Loggen/Klintemaala2003/default.htm shows a gps-trace from a 3 days trip along the swedish coastline in the Misterhult reservation about 30 km north of Oskarshamn. It's a natural reservation worth visiting. We didn't make many miles each day but we enjoyed the nature and the wildlife. Sorry, the report is in danish.
