This Years Best Hiking GPS ChoicesThe first three gps's shown below made the list for this years best hiking gps. Unfortunately, bad things happen sometimes. A gps tool will help you locate exactly where you are if you get lost. Cell phones are useless if the signal is too weak to penetrate the trees and clouds. (And cell phone reception is lousy in Yosemite National Park...no matter what carrier you are with) A good gps will tell you where you are and if needed will tell a rescue team your precise location. Hikers get lost all the time in Yosemite. Don't go on a long hike or backpacking trip without a gps. It is no fun to make the local news channel!All of the above gps's are easy to use. It only takes about an half of an hour to master using one of these. So familiarize yourself with how to use the one that you purchase before hitting the hiking trails. Put one of these on your hiking supplies list. Don't take unnecessary chances when it comes to your hiking safety. A gps is worth every penny that you put toward one. The above gps's were rated the best from this years OUTSIDE BUYERS GUIDE MAGAZINE and THE BACKPACKER MAGAZINE in their summer issues.
