A bike computer seems like a pretty cool tool. Especially the Garmin ones that can tell you things like jump hang-time and distance.
The best thing for navigation in my opinion is a physical map and a compass you never need to recharge either and you can't really break them if you crash.
Most paper (plastic) maps are waterproof, they also cover a good-sized area, and the one I have seems to have all the MTB trails that Trailforks has in my area. Plus they only cost like $15. It is also a pretty cool skill knowing how to use one that very few people have.
