Yes. On the more critical part when in the middle of nowhere I often use a traditional map as reference after getting my rough position through Google Maps. I wouldn't trust any of the mapping services more than the local entities to provide accurate trail info, especially as they're the own maintaining the paths.

Sadly I'm still not good with really basic compass and map positionning, and the GPS + average location info helped a ton in the past.
