Europe has basically no true wilderness left so they probably think "ah we'll just get water at the park's cafe when we need some".

To be honest I can't imagine what it was like before having tons and tons of mapping data avaliable to me on a tiny handheld device. I imagine we have plenty of people here whove been on long trips without it but the Internet and technology has insanely spoiled me when it comes to information and planning.

Google maps probably would of saved the German tourists.

It's sorta impossible to say. Of course they might not of bothered planning it in advance but you can save routes for offline use so you don't need data to navigate. That wouldn't of stopped them from taking a 'shortcut' of course but maybe even just being able to Google where they were going in advance would of given them a better idea? Anyways, I just think technology is cool and I appreciate it
