Portable GPS units are the new hiker’s helper

For those of us who love the great outdoors, portable GPS units have given us a freedom we have never before enjoyed. They are so portable and compact that they will fit in your back pocket or backpack. There are also units available with altimeters and compasses. The threat of being lost in a dense forest or remote area is now almost non-existent. Orbiting satellites can identify and track a GPS receiver’s precise location anywhere on or near the Earth’s surface. They are a great asset for those of us who love to venture into the unknown.
