Gps Features You Didn't Know About

There's no doubt about it, GPS are one of the greatest inventions ever. Now you don't even need a car to use one. Get that hand-held Triton GPS from Magellan and you'll be able to use National Geographic maps. These have never been commercially available on a GPS before. Top of the line models give you a digital camera and audio player to entertain you on your long hike, a built in barometer to check the weather plus an electronic compass to make sure you know where you are going.

Once the hike is done, you can upload your data to show everyone where you've been. Reasonably priced for the serious hiker at $499.00, the bare-bones model comes in at much less - about $129.
Other units will layer a satellite-based weather map over your intended route to keep you out of trouble.

GPS for cyclists have specific cyclist friendly features such as timing over a defined course, amount of calories burned, with a sensor for heart rate so you can chart it all later on. And if your companions can't ride with you, there's the option of a virtual competition against ghost riders. You'll pay for all the bells and whistles, but strip off the screen and map display and they come in at under $300.
