Just following your nose is not recommended outdoors. Correct data on distances, height or current position is important and can help you on hikes, trekking tours or expeditions, and not just in an emergency. Above all, they support you when navigating: Whether compass or navigation device, altimeter or binoculars - with all devices, you can find your way better and faster outdoors so that you actually reach your destination.
For those who want to keep an eye on their fitness at all times, professional devices such as pedometers or multisport clocks that measure your vital functions are just right. At Transa, you'll find the right model for your next tour.
If you always want to know exactly where you are when you're out hiking or on your bike, a GPS device is indispensable. It shows you your current position at all times, helping you to find the right path and stick to your planned route. At Transa, there are various devices that you can use to determine your position. Depending on the model, they have different functions - always adapted to your particular activity.
GPS technology is also important in an emergency and can even save your life or that of your companions. If you need to call for help when you're out and about because someone is too seriously injured to make it on their own, GPS emergency transmitters are ideal. You can use them to send out an emergency signal, which then informs a rescue team. The team receives the exact location and can send a team to the right place. Some devices are also designed so that not only can a signal be received, but communication between the injured person or their companion and the rescue team is also possible. This way, the person in distress also knows that help is already on the way.
Do you prefer hiking and trekking tours where you still use a traditional hiking map? An additional compass, which we offer in different versions, is a good aid to orientation. If the GPS device doesn't have reception, the map and compass will always keep you on the right track.
If you want to monitor your fitness during an outdoor tour or be able to analyse your training progress later on, a multisport watch will make you happy. While a pedometer, depending on the model, only counts steps and perhaps also records some vital functions, a multisport watch is equipped with significantly more functions. For example, depending on the model, a compass, altimeter, GPS and many other functions are integrated.
If you are travelling in the mountains, an altimeter is important. This is because the higher the height, the lower the oxygen content and the higher the strain on your body. In order to recognise the dreaded altitude sickness in good time, it is important that you know the exact height and reduce it quickly if you experience any symptoms. You can choose from special analogue altimeter devices, but you can also opt for a sports watches with an integrated altimeter function.
