Take exercises to the next level. Fitness GPS units are now available to help monitor workout performances. For instance, you can measure your speed, distance, pace and calories burned. Athletes, recreational walkers and runners will find this useful as the gadget can store lap histories and other data by date, week, month, or over a specific time interval.
Even business travelers who train on the road can use the fitness GPS as a navigator. A user can mark his hotel as a specific location so he can get back easily later. Bikers, on the other hand, can opt for a specialty cycling GPS that lets them know where they are going and how far they have gone. Some GPS also have heart rate monitors and wireless speed/pedaling cadence sensors.
There’s nothing worse than being lost, especially whenever you’re hiking in the woods. This scenario happened to me when I was on my honeymoon and it was terrible. My husband and I had planned a month-long hike along the Appalachian Trail after our June wedding and we had our trek mapped out.
Little did we know that it was so easy to get lost within that great expanse of trails. Sooner than we knew it we were lost and it was raining. It took us 12 hours just to hike back to the main trail. Next time we plan a hiking trip we will be sure to bring one of those digital compass systems we see on television all the time.
