How to get where you are going.
When you select a handheld GPS for hiking, you need to consider the ease of navigation and the quality of the reception provided by the unit.
Other important considerations combine to make a GPS that is perfect for your hikes.
- you need to be able to read the screen in bright sun
- you may want the unit to download topographic maps might want a USB cable to transfer information to your computer
