I do, the GPS maps was of course outdated, and brought us to the most random mud trail in the area.
It had potential, but definitely a lot of things to improve.
It tells you which direction something is in, but can’t help plot a route to get there.
I still use my Garmin Geko even now. Useful as a basic device recording a track I can geocode photos with, and runs for days on two AAA batteries. In a pinch you can reverse a track and go back the way you came too 😅

Openstreetmap has a load of tools to help with this, as we used to use this technique for surveying.
For example, JOSM can geolocate photos against a GPX file, and display them over your map.
Yep. Seemed pretty shiny compared to printing off directions from MapQuest. Then we figured out how to customize the voice, and it was shenanigans from there.
I still remember printing out google maps directions, then missing one turn and then being completely lost.
