Garmin Montana Multi-purpose GPS

The Garmin Montana GPS is an "advanced Garmin handheld featuring a ruggedized design with multiple mounting and battery options, dual-orientation screen layout options and support for a wide range of Garmin cartography," states Garmin. Highlights include the option of using the unit's built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, or three AA batteries; a built-in 5-megapixel camera, additional memory and map-loading with a microSD card, 3.5mm audio jack, and a waterproof rating.


The idea behind the Montana is to be a device that can get you to your destination like a regular dedicated car GPS using Garmin's tried and true City Navigator spoken turn-by-turn directions, then unclipping the device and taking it with you on the next leg of your trip, whether by boat, ATV, mountain biking, hiking, hunting, fishing, and more. If you need local topographic maps or lake or ocean charts, these may be purchased form Garmin and downloaded or plugged in as a microSD card.
Overall, this is an impressive new entry into an adventurous outdoor market segment that's been hankering for just this device. Backcountry and boating trips are usually bracketed by road trips, and the Montana, with its powered mount options, is the way to go.

Garmin continues to stretch its lead in the handheld golf GPS market with the introduction of new Approach G8 and G7 models. The $399 G8 becomes the new top of the line from Garmin.

As you might expect, the G8 has every feature you can imagine and some you may not have thought of. Like other Garmins, it comes with a free, and free-to-update database of 30,000+ courses world-wide. It also has Smart Notification technology, which communicates with your smartphone to receive emails, texts, and call alerts.


Garmin is also in the process of adding golf tracking features to its free online Connect services, so the G8 will feed stats to Connect when you are ready to keep a log and to analyze performance and scores.  A new PlaysLike feature adjusts distances for uphill and downhill terrain if you opt to use it. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery lasts 15 hours in full GPS use. Other features include touch-targeting, manually moveable pin, shot distance tracker, stat tracker, and digital scorecard. A new G7 model ($299) shares most of the same features but has a smaller screen.

    Traveling GPS System for Walking & Driving in Europe

    Connect your GPS device to a power cable or make sure it has a working and fully charged battery.

    Step 2

    Press the power button to turn the GPS device on so it can begin searching for network signals. On most devices, the signal display uses the bar icons.

    Step 3

    Enter the address or coordinates of the location where you want to navigate using the GPS device's touchscreen or keyboard.

    Step 4

    Tap on the mode icon, usually located at the top of the screen, and then choose the type of navigation mode you want to use, such as driving or walking.

    Shoes with GPS by Dominic Wilcox

    Designer Dominic Wilcox created a utilitarian pair of kicks with LED lights on the toecaps, that illuminate to show you which way to walk. First, the wearer uploads their location via USB. The lights on the left shoe indicate the correct direction, and the lights on the right shoe are a progress bar that show you how far you have left to go.


    A piece of software has been created in which the wearer plots their desired destination on a map - this location is uploaded via USB to the shoe. through the use of two microcontrollers called arduinos, a simple click of the heels, where the GPS is embedded, activates the system, with a red tag containing the unit's antenna positioned upwards.


    Powered by battery, similar to that of mobile phones, data from the left shoe communicates wirelessly with the right one which shows progress via a bar of LED lights on the footwear's toe cap. a green LED is illuminated once one has arrived at their final destination. the left shoe indicates the correct direction in which to walk by way of LEDs placed in a circle.

    Motorola Droid Razr Maxx

    Motorola Droid Razr Maxx.
    While it seems the current smartphone race is all about Samsung and Apple, when it comes to GPS that’s not necessarily the case. Samsung has been hit with reports of GPS issues affecting the Galaxy (although apparently there are updates to fix this) so it may not be the ideal choice for users looking for the best GPS solution.


    • Sharp map detail – With its Super AMOLED display, the Droid offers sharp, crystal-clear display and high map definition. This is perfect for seeing map detail clearly, particularly at high zoom levels or viewing satellite imagery.
    • Long-lasting battery – Like the HTC Titan, the Droid has one of the best batteries on the market right now. This is a valuable feature; nothing worse for a traveler than their GPS device running out of battery life partway to your destination.
    • Rugged construction – Built partly with Kevlar, the Droid is literally bullet-proof, ideal for outdoor use and situations where GPS is being used in demanding environments.

    HTC Titan: good selection of premium map and navigation apps

    Running Windows Mobile, the HTC Titan has a good reputation for fast GPS performance and a good selection of premium map and navigation apps.


    • Large screen – One of the largest on the market at 4.7” the HTC Titan makes it easier to browse, pan, and zoom maps with its massive touch screen.
    • Powerful processor – Running a grunty 1.5GHz second-gen Qualcomm Snapdragon chip the HTC Titan can process map detail without much effort and good response times.
    • Good battery life – Using your GPS will impact on battery life so it’s good to know the HTC Titan’s 1600mAh battery offers longer lasting performance.

    Maximizing GPS Trackers’ Battery Longevity


    Without question one of the major features that people look at when selecting GPS tracking devices is battery life. For tracking systems that don’t have a hardwired connection, battery life is very important because when the battery charge is fully depleted, the tracking capability usually comes to a grinding halt. Just like any cell phone GPS devices need power communicate and receive digital information. This entry will focus on factors that impact a tracker’s battery life.

    Position Refresh Rate
    Perhaps the most influential factor that determines a tracking device’s battery longevity is the position update rate (or “refresh rate.”) This refers to the frequency at which the real time tracking device sends out its whereabouts to the web. Some trackers, such as the LandAirSea SilverCloud, update every few seconds. These systems tend to not to have phenomenal battery life. (Luckily, most GPS tracking solutions, including the SilverCloud, have several power options, including large capacity battery packs that usually come with matching weather proof cases). Other trackers, such as the Quantum Q-SX1 Satellite Tracker, can be set to update very infrequently. This is what allows the Q-SX1 GPS system to last for up to several years.

    Amount of Time that a GPS Tracker is in Motion
    Battery life is also a function of the amount of time that a real time GPS tracking device is in motion. This is because most units incorporate accelerometers, motion sensors or some other power management feature that takes into account a unit’s motion status. When motion is detected, many GPS trackers wake up and send out position updates at set intervals. When idle for some period of time, most GPS tracking systems go into a low-power standby state. By taking the two factors outlined above into account, users of GPS tracking technology can get the most out of their battery-powered tracking devices.
