GPS navigation: satellite-controlled signposts

Do you always want to know exactly where you are when you're out and about and which is the best route to take to reach your destination? Then there's no way around a good GPS device in the outdoor sector, because it will show you the right way everywhere - whether you're hiking, trekking or on a bike tour.

GPS navigation devices are available in many different versions, for example the GPS sat nav for bikes or the practical handheld device that you can also attach to your backpack on your trekking tour. Thanks to GPS, you won't get lost, which can be vital in mountainous regions or in difficult weather conditions.

GPS navigation: accurate and safe

With the right GPS navigation, you are simply safer on the road and save a lot of time on unnecessary detours. In order for a GPS device to fulfil your expectations, it must meet various requirements.

You can recognise good GPS devices by the following features:

• It is compact and handy so that you can attach it to your backpack or bike.
• It has a sufficiently large display with good resolution.
• The GPS device always sits comfortably in the hand and is optimally protected from falling thanks to its ergonomic shape and non-slip coating.
• The material is particularly robust and impact-resistant for outdoor use, so it will last a long time even with frequent outdoor activity.
• It is waterproof, so even a rain shower will not restrict its use.
• You can determine your position anytime and anywhere thanks to the reliable reception.
• Additional functions such as sending text messages to family and friends are also possible with some models and ensure even more safety on the go.
• In an emergency, you can use the GPS device to send a signal to call for help. For example, if you are injured and would not be able to find your way out of the wilderness on your own.
• The illuminated screen makes it easy to see everything, even at dusk or at night.
• The operation is very simple and intuitive.
• Pre-installed maps make navigation easier when you're out and about.
• Other additional functions such as a compass or altimeter optimally complement the range of functions for outdoor activities.
• The battery lasts a long time, for at least five days of active use would be ideal for a long outdoor trip. Charging is easy via USB cable or car charger.
