Another thing I see often are radio functions, which is certainly a good idea. Ham is probably the way to go, so if you haven't integrated that capability into your deck yet, that could be something to look into. I know there are a lot of Raspberry pi radio projects out there, so while I can't name a piece of software off the top of my head, I am sure you are going to find plenty of resources out there, including some Youtube tutorials. Pre-collapse, of course. 

Aside from that, it really just comes down to lots and lots of knowledge. Some open source coding platforms (as well as the knowledge to use them), could come in handy too. That way, if you suddenly realize that you want or need a particular software application, you can theoretically cobble one together, and that capability can certainly have some serious "recovery" potential in general, at least at some point down the line. Plus your basics, of course, like a simple calculator interface, maybe a word processor to keep a detailed journal for when you eventually do get mauled by a pack of Rad-Rats, so that the next protagonist can stumble upon it and know your tragic story - maybe, if you want to get fancy, you can invest in a bunch of discrete voice recorders, each wastefully holding a single tape/disk/drive only, and use them to record short snippets from the collapse itself, and your life, and leave them scattered strategically around the wasteland or whatnot. Make sure to signpost important landmarks and/or secondary characters so that the protagonist can use or ignore that information later.

In all seriousness, though, sorry I can't be more helpful with software specifics, but GPS and Ham radio stuff are just not something I know a lot about - I will be researching them along with you in the near future. What I do suspect is that more is not always... more. 

Either way, without robust, collaborative, continent wide networks, we'd probably get limited mileage out of these rugged individualist prepping methods. Having a single super rugged terminal / "pillar" deck set up in every town (or close to it - in strategic locations, in any case) that can function as a radio relay and provide remote access to both information and communication (and likely navigation as well), would maybe be a better way towards actual recovery than a bunch or random former tech enthusiasts running around the woods with pelican cases. Though I certainly wouldn't discourage that either - pelican case builds are cool - I feel like a sort of ad hoc emergency infrastructure (one that does not rely on the continuity of any particular government or economic entity) would be just what the doctor ordered, and the individual and portable devices would be a great supplement to that.

Of course, at the end of the day this is probably all academic / for-funsies. We're staring down the barrel of several potential apocalypses all the time, these days, and some are more survivable than others. This sort of thing might help much more with a massive EMP, or even societal collapse (assuming it somehow comes about without nuclear war or even widespread, worldwide conventional war) and climate change, than with a super volcano, a planet-killer asteroid, or World War III, especially if that goes nuclear. 

At that point, survival becomes a lot more about luck, and who is luckier, the person who survives longest or the person who instantly got vaporized while taking a nap during the first strike, is a matter of perennial debate (I think the latter, personally). Ultimately, if there's an all out exchange, a lot of places won't be immediately destroyed, sure, but between the widespread radiation and the nuclear winter (which will obliterate a lot of those food sources and lifestyle options that we'd have listed in our PDFs), even the most rugged among us will see our potential lifespans shortened to a few years, maybe a few decades for those who happened to be located and positioned in just the right spots. Who knows, maybe there are a few populated islands out there that will largely be spared, until the fish start to die out, at least. 

Of course, there's always the underground. With seed arcs, a means to generate power, and hydroponic farming methods, who knows. Personally, I doubt even an all out nuclear war will actually wipe out our species. Change it irrevocably, sure, but not wipe us out. Humanity will, for better or worse, survive in some diminished capacity. But sadly, none of us can individually bank on that being the case on a person by person basis. We are all programmed to think of ourselves as the protagonists of our own epic stories, but... you know, that's just something our body tells us so that we have a better chance of passing down our genes and keep the broad template of "homo sapien" in circulation. We're actually all super insignificant and disposable, just motes of cosmic dust floating through a void, accidentally conscious for a while, and then no longer so for eternity... 

Oof, I am bumming myself out.

I think I'll probably make an apocalypse deck too, just because they're cool and who knows, maybe it will come in handy. Any excuse to build a new deck, at this point. But I really, really hope to not have to stick around for very long in certain scenarios. I'd much rather be the person who goes in their sleep, if I can at all help it.Is this your business?

my head brims with the water where we met.
Have you wondered whom you could be with me?
I’ve rarely ever dared to humor them.
can feed this famine from a single fry?
thirsty it can only think of water.
Is it so wrong to long for just a sip?
until their weight suffocates.
from the swim.
the places you wish to be.
of you I worship.
us without that?
and clinging sweaty to my neck.
swimming in our humidity.
Secrets can hide from outsiders.
of an animal I can’t name.
Then I sit on a porch.
It’s morning once more.
A herd speaks from the distance.
The land remembers its lot and feeds it.
to break beneath teeth.
and every girl, doomed to be consumed by their smoke and mirrors.
guessing the distance between cold silver, steaming red.
My life’s been a feast of smoke and mirrors.
now that I know the hero I sought will never reach me, doesn’t exist.
as swiftly and easily as my head sopped up what he fed?
there is no great epiphany.
Yet my head still ingested what he fed.
What can you do when part of the problem is you?
but there’s nothing you can do when the problem is you.
Can you solve that problem with your head?
Can you solve that problem in your head?
when the root of the problem is you.
No savior awaits. These men are all the same.
That problem lives in and beyond my brain.
So thank goodness for sharp shards, steadfast hands.

In the notification released from NTA has come after the organization got a few inquiries about is it necessary to mention aadhaar number in the registration form of UGC-NET to be conducted in December 2018.
Giving a clarification on the same the authority published a notification and stated that "it is hereby clarified that while filling in online application form and as per the 'Replica of Application Form' given in Annexure VIII (page 39-40) (UGC-NET Bulletin December 2018) in the drop down box regarding 'Identification Type' and has also given on page 11, the Aadhaar number is only one of the types of identification and is not mandatory".
NTA, an agency established under the Department of Higher Education by Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD), Government of India, has already started the registration process for both JEE Main and UGC NET recently, and the window for registration process will close on September 30, 2018. The JEE Main 2019 is scheduled to be conducted twice a year, and 1st part of which will be held from January 6 to January 20, 2019, followed by next part
