Important Handheld GPS Features
I began searching for a handheld GPS unit a while ago and was a little shocked at the amount of choice on the market. GPS receivers have become extremely popular and there are all different types to choose from.
I personally wanted a handheld GPS that could go with me anywhere and be used for all types of outdoor activities as well as easily be brought with me traveling. After a lot of reading I came to realize that there are a few key features that are really important to look for in a handheld GPS unit.
Is it WAAS Enabled?
WAAS stands for Wide Area Augmentation System and is based on a network of twenty-five different ground-reference stations.
If you have a GPS unit that is able to read these signals then it will be able to tract your location to less than ten feet. In otherwords if your handheld is WAAS enabled it is able to be extremely precise and accurate.
How Many Waypoints are There?
Waypoints are reference points and they help to show your location. They are extremely useful in helping to sort the best routes for your trip as they leave a kind of breadcrumb trail for you.
It is suggested that a decent handheld GPS should be capable of storing at least 500 waypoints. That way you are covered whether you are on the water, in the wilderness or on the road.
What are the Maps Like?
Maps of course of an extremely important feature of any GPS device. Each receiver will come with different types of maps. It would be wise to decide beforehand what type of maps you will need the most as well as how detailed you would need them to be.
A typical handheld GPS will come with a certain amount of maps already stored within and some will have the capability of adding more maps if you need them. Check to see if the model has enough storage space to be able to upload specific maps that you may need down the road.
Is it Waterproof?
It was important to me that my handheld GPS was waterproof. A waterproof unit is far more versatile and can be used in the rain, while skiing, or even while boating or kayaking. If you choose a waterproof unit then look for a waterproof rating of IPX7. This means that it can withstand accidental dunks, rain as well as splashes from water. It can also float.
Deciding Which One to Buy
After considering all of the important features above do a little research and watch out for units that offer a lot of unique features that not only drive the cost up but also may never get used In the end I chose to purchase the Garmin GPSMAP 76 waterproof handheld GPS. It is not overly fancy but it does offer all of the important features and has just the right amount of extras while still staying affordable.
Whichever unit you choose to purchase be sure to read the consumer reviews to find honest opinions from those who have used it first hand.
