Will you also be out of cellphone coverage?

What is the best way to know where to point to view DSO's?
I have a couple of apps Sky Map, Stellarium and Starwalk 2.

To that list, I'd add the paid app, Sky Safari 6, and the free app from SkyWatcher in conjunction with a
SkyWatcher WiFi Adapter , on the Virtuoso.
The WiFi adapter is a WiFi hotspot your phone/tablet connects to, to control the scope.
Not having a GOTO scope, I simply use Stellarium and Sky Safari to work out what I am looking at.
With a SkyWatcher GOTO capable scope and the WiFi Adapter, either the SkyWatcher app, or Sky Safari, can control the scope.
