GPS navigation has transformed the outdoor adventure in unknown territory into a foray that can be fun and safe for all. Garmin Handheld GPS receivers are the most popular in the world for outdoor adventure. You can safely go and come without depending on maps and landmarks for navigation whether on land or water by using a GPS unit.
With the proper Garmin Handheld GPS unit you can be assured of safe navigation on land or water whether you are boating, hiking, biking, hunting, fishing or other outdoor adventures. Day or night you can depend on a GPS unit to give accurate readings and even if the weather is unstable. Choose the correct unit for all your adventures and be independent from the old maps and other navigation aides.
Using a GPS unit for navigation keeps you from becoming lost because you will not be depending on a map that may be outdated or getting caught in bad weather or darkness catching you away from shore or your destination.
By using a Garmin Handheld GPS unit you will be able to electronically map an area whether you are on land or water. Then by using the exclusive Garmin Tracback feature you can return to where you started without veering off course. You also can check how fast you are traveling, and return to the best hunting or fishing spot or find where you parked car before going camping.
One of the features of the Garmin Handheld GPS receivers is the ability to upload or download data from your PC. You also can share your data with other Garmin users wirelessly on land or water if you so desire. This feature allows several people to map a large area in a short period of time and then share with all the others and everyone can have a complete map of the area mapped.
Golfers use GPS to measure the distance within the course to help improve their golf game. The new Garmin golfing GPS receiver, Approach G5 comes preloaded with thousands of USA golf courses. You dont have to guess how far your next shot is or which club you need to make the shot. The downside is you know exactly how far you hit the ball and helps keep you from exaggerating to yourself how far the shot really was.
GPS technology has generated new outdoor activities and new sports. Geocaching is an example of a new sport that combines an outdoor excursion and a treasure hunt into a day of excitement for many people. Another new sport generated by GPS technology is Geodashing. Geodashing is an outdoor race to a precise coordinate that can even be across country.
Garmin has been the leader in GPS technology for consumer products and should continue to be the leader. Garmin Handheld GPS units are built for different uses and different users. You can choose one that fits one or several uses depending on the price range you are comfortable with. They are excellent for biking, hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, boating, road travel and more.
