Garmin Handheld GPS Units

Handheld GPS Units are portable devices used for navigation and tracking locations. They provide real-time location data using satellite signals. These units are ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, geocaching, and trekking, offering features such as route mapping, waypoint marking, and elevation tracking.

Handheld GPS Units work by receiving signals from a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. They calculate your precise location based on the time it takes for each signal to reach the device. This information helps you navigate and track your movements accurately.

Handheld GPS Units offer better durability and battery life than smartphones. They function in remote areas without mobile signal coverage and are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. These units are specifically built for outdoor navigation, providing more reliable performance in challenging environments.

Handheld GPS Units typically do not work well indoors because they require a clear line of sight to satellites. However, some models may have additional sensors or technologies that improve their indoor accuracy slightly.
