>>964758Pic related; it's the GPS I have. I think it's one of the first generations of handheld GPS devices, it's more than 10 years old. All it can do is:
>Electronic compass>Point arrow towards your destination on compass>make a waypoint path, it points you from current location to destination, at arrival points you to the next waypoint/destination and so on.>distance to destination, time to destination (based on average speed)>Sunset/sunrise times>distance travelled>time travelled>elevation (not really useful in the flattest country on earth)>GPS timeetc.
You can't load maps or anything into it.
It doesn't have any maps. It does save a breadcrumb trial, but since I don't have a USB cable for it, I can't export them to a Google Maps File. I don't need that function anyway. Don't care for places I've been or trails I've followed, if I did I'd just save them manually while on the trail. you can see a map on the image, but it only shows the breadcrumb trail where you were before. It's practically worthless.
Why not use a regular compass you ask? Because you still need to carry maps for that area to find out where you are, in order to find out in which direction you need to go. I can fire up the GPS and be moving towards the destination in a minute. Just uses 2 AA's. And yes, batteries die and maps & compass don't. I'm well aware of this and I ain't disregarding the use of normal compasses and maps. It's just less practical for the Get Home Bag I carry.
