Plugger Hugger

One who insistently relies on GPS to navigate from point to point while in the backcountry. A person who refuses to learn basic land navigation skills due to the assumed fact that a GPS can solve all problems for those who are geographically embarrased.

Derived from "PLGR" pronounced "Plugger" - an acronym used in the Army for Precision, Lightweight, GPS, Receiver.

"Put away the GPS you plugger hugger. The campsite is just on the other side of that ridge."
