Hiking and finding your way around in the great outdoors can be made more straightforward when using hiking GPS handhelds. As well as altering the way in which we do our hike planning and navigation, the development of GPS has transformed the globe. There are a variety of uses for GPS including aiding farmers during harvest time to bring in the crops as well as guiding war zone air attacks. GPS was initially created for military purposes by the United States, that of nuclear missile tracking. Thankfully, these days the GPS satellite network is being used for more peaceful purposes. Circling the globe is a 24 satellite network at a height of 11,000 which makes it possible for us to accurately establish our position on the earth to within a few metres. With respect to hiking, in theory at least, GPS enables easier navigation with greater accuracy in contrast to the manual use of map and compass. Other benefits include: planning your hiking routes before you hike; tracking your routes as you hike; storing your routes so you can use them again in the future; and the ability to share your hiking routes with others, as well as use routes planned by others.
