The article discusses the author's passion for outdoor activities in the Pacific Northwest and the importance of reliable GPS navigation for exploring remote areas. It emphasizes how handheld GPS units, particularly the eTrex Solar, outperform smartphones and smartwatches for recreational navigation due to their large displays, durability, and extended battery life. The eTrex Solar offers up to 200 hours of navigation without solar charging, and its intuitive design makes it easy to use in various outdoor settings. The author has found it reliable during activities like hiking and geocaching.
Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I gained a deep affection for the great outdoors. The forest is my happy place. I have a good sense of direction, too -- even in nature -- but the farther out I explore, the more I need GPS navigation to help me get to and from remote locations.
Handheld GPS units are designed and built for outdoor activities -- hiking, fishing, geocaching, camping, and more -- with large displays, long battery life, and durable construction that can survive in various environments.
This GPS handheld provides up to 200 hours of GPS navigation with no solar charging; in an area with 75,000 lux sun -- bright sunlight -- the battery is advertised as providing unlimited GPS navigation support.
The eTrex Solar is intuitive to use, with five large buttons covered in soft touch material and a 2.2-inch monochrome display. An integrated belt loop clip on the back is useful for clipping to your backpack.
