GPS devices are usually found in cars, but sports GPS units are also popular among sportsmen for hiking, jogging, cycling and much more.
Geocaching is a brand new sport that grew up around GPS satellite navigation technology. The idea is that someone hides a cache (perhaps just a note, or maybe a particular item) in an obscure spot and then releases the coordinates and challenges people to find it.
This Sports GPS features a location finder that guides you to a destination when you enter longitude and latitude, to help you take part in this 21st century treasure hunt.
The Sports GPS also displays your current location, which you can use for ‘geotagging’. Geotagging is where you attach coordinates to a photo which is then linked to Google Maps, so you can track a journey with pictures, creating an amazing mix of photo slideshow and travel journal!
This clever device shows altitude, trip time, distance travelled, average speed, maximum speed and even estimated calories burnt.
You can set up alarms when you hit a certain speed, distance or time limit and the clear LCD has a backlit display so it can be used in the dark. Its internal memory stores 200,000 waypoints.
The package includes a mounting kit for bicycles and is supplied with a USB cable and mains adapter.
