I live on the coast in Alabama and I purchased the topo set of maps and it shows all the waterways and 5miles out in the ocean I use it on my boat everytime I go out the only thing is that if you want to go to a waypoint it will send you across land so you kind of have to use common sense

No it won't help you find your son.
If your son had it with him it would help him find his way home or back to camp.

Yes and no. If he had a cell phone and coverage he could call for help and using the device give his exact location to rescue personnel. He could also mark the location of his car or some other landmark and if lost but not not injured, could return to that location. Hope that helps.
