If it was me, I prefer actual physical maps, but theres something to be said for knowing your coordinates. Down in SE asia probably not a need for that, a decent map + some skill will probably work out where you are, but if you were out in a desert like environment you can easily loose track of where you are. Wouldn't be fussed about an all singing all dancing machine, just a basic 'these are your coordinates to within Xmetres accuracy' machine would do the job.
USB charger to keep an mp3 topped up with tunes as well. I find on longer trips (bike, car, walking, paddling) after a few days the relentless silence and peace & quiet gets to me, I find I need music to keep me sane.
