Magellan eXplorist 100

£70.00

This GPS unit from Magellan is very basic, tough, rugged and black and white, at a very affordable price. There’s no PC compatibility at all, though. It will give you an accurate grid reference on your exact position, and you can also input a route by hand. If all you want from a GPS is something to carry in your ...

Lowrance Ifinder GO2

£90.00

Has limited PC compatibility via a serial port cable (not supplied). Routes can be planned on Memory-Map, but only the waypoints can be downloaded, which means the route has to be constructed manually on the GPS before it can be followed – quicker than doing the whole job by hand, but very clunky compared to some units. Outdoors, it’s nice ...

Lowrance iFinder Go

£90.00

The low price tag of this GPS receiver makes it very appealing to the walker who just needs to find a location. You get a 16 channel receiver which should in theory get you a fix and hold the fix better than a 12 or 14 channel receiver used in some other units. The 48 hour battery life makes it ...

Mio Digiwalker P350

£200.00

This PDA (pocket PC) from Mio runs typical PC software, but also has a built-in GPS antenna. Teamed with digital mapping software, such as Memory-Map, the P350 can be used as a walking GPS unit that shows full detail Ordnance Survey mapping. There’s no doubting the appeal of a GPS receiver that shows your exact position on 1:25,000 OS mapping ...

Magellan Crossover GPS

£280.00

This motoring-style Sat Nav system from Magellan can also be used as a walking GPS, with preloaded, semi-detailed, topographic mapping. Not great on the hill, as it doesn’t use OS grid references and the topographic mapping isn’t detailed enough to navigate with on its own.

Blackberry Bold 9000

£500.00

The Bold is a great gadget that combines office/telephone functionality with a GPS receiver, but it isn’t compatible with any Ordnance Survey mapping software so doesn’t really cut it as a GPS receiver. There is a link-up with a partner website www.trimble-outdoors.com which for a small subscription makes it possible to review walk statistics as well as to exchange route ...
