I think I would leave the GPS at home.  LMFAO But a PDA with maps for the entire country in it and light weight solar rechargers would work. Plus within the 30 day's before I left I would learn how to figure out my location on the earth by using the stars (not sure what it's called) just like the sailor's used to. That way I would be able to use the maps on the PDA. |

I do not personally think that you would want to hump more than 100 pounds for 3,000 miles, but if you want to try it, sure.

You must be able to carry it yourself, but you will be given some gold so that you can purchase any items locally that you need during your travels. You will be walking...

"Walking" and "carrying" the gear would pretty much mean no pack animals this trip.
Hence this line:

Let’s think this one through as stated first, we can do branches and sequels later.

I would not trust my future to any single battery powered device, but I agree on that possible use for the PDA, as long as I had hard copies of the maps and a compass.
I look forward to your input.
