paddirn,

I could see them doing that just because they were trying to conserve battery power, however, if they were still getting a signal, couldn’t they have still used their map, and thus, weren’t really lost? Or was this in the Dark Ages, before smartphones guided us to the light?

There’s a pretty good chance they only had 2G. And some carriers who still have 2G have decided to shut down GPRS service, so no internet access.

But seriously, there are people that are in an emergency that do not make rational decisions at the moment.
