Of course, multiple levels and options. My reversion path looks like this: Garmin Pilot on Tablet-->Garmin Pilot on Phone-->GNS420-->Paper Chart-->Mark One Eyeball

The lines between the various steps of my chosen reversion path do tend to blur a little bit. I will put the next destination in on the GNS420 as a matter of routine, that way I have an instant backup while I fuss with moving from the tablet to the phone. But once the phone is up and running it gives me a much more convenient and comprehensive presentation of data. And of course the paper chart is an excellent and important adjunct to the GNS420. I have actually had problems with the tablet, but never had to move down that list any further than the phone. I've since fixed the tablet reliability problem and haven't had any issues in about a year.
