Whether canoeing, kayaking, hiking, camping or hunting the handheld GPS is a very useful piece of technology that has been highly adapted for use in the outdoors. And today’s new waterproof and shockproof characteristics make them perfect for outdoor use because they are built for all types of rugged conditions.
With GPS units you can actively log information for later retrieval to use yourself or share with others. For example you can log in the location of your canoe launc or river campsite and then share the information with another canoeist who could then locate that river campsite with his GPS unit. Or when hunting you could log your preseason scouting information and use it to return to that exact same location when the season starts. A handheld GPS is a great gift for any outdoor enthusiast.
