Is a GPS unit essential kit for this kind of trip? With services such as Google Maps (offline downloads) and Maps.Me, I was planning on using a phone as a GPS (charged from the bike battery), rather than buying a GPS unit. Am I being naïve in thinking I can do it without a GPS? My plan was to also buy SIM cards in each country to ensure I have internet access when required

1. GPS offline is a must? Maps.Me or OsmAnd are very good but the nice thing about loading maps on the phone why not just download every one you can find?
Because some will be better than other depending on the country/area.
2. Just because you have a sim card don't guarantee you will get a signal.
