Ensure You Never Lose Your Way with a Handheld GPS

Rest assured that you always know where you are going during your next hike or hunting trip with a handheld GPS device. The device ensures you know exactly where you are at all times so you can navigate your way through any terrain. There is a large assortment of GPS devices available on eBay, so knowing what you want in a GPS is crucial when trying to decide which one to buy.

How can you find specific locations on the handheld GPS?

Many of the GPS devices on eBay come with software that you can use to program locations into them. You can put in the exact coordinates that you want to go to and the device will guide you on how to get there. Some devices also allow you to save locations while you travel so that you can return to them later. This is ideal for hikers who want to return to their campsite after a long hike.

How are the GPS devices powered?

Most handheld GPS devices have rechargeable batteries in them. You can plug the wall adapter into the wall or car to charge the device before you head out on your trip. Many people choose to bring a charging bank with them when they go out hiking or hunting so that they can provide the GPS with extra power if needed throughout the day.

How do you operate a handheld GPS device?

The device will have numerous buttons and a screen on the front of it. You can navigate through the menu on the device to learn how to operate it or use the directions that are included with it. Most devices are very easy to operate and take very little time to figure out.

Do you have to carry the GPS the entire time?

You don't have to carry the GPS device the entire time that you are hiking or walking. There are many comfortable ways to carry it that allow you to still have access to it quickly, while still keeping your hands free at the same time. Some of the carry options on eBay include:

  • Clip-on GPS - Most GPS units have a clip attached to the back of the device that can clip onto your belt or waistband.
  • Carabiner devices - Some of the devices have a carabiner built onto the top of them so that they can clip directly onto your belt loop or onto your backpack.
  • Carry it in your pocket - Most handheld GPS devices are designed to be small so that you can fit them into your pocket if you don't like clipping it onto your clothing.
