What's a portable gps for?

Portable GPS units are navigation devices that can be used anytime, anywhere, making them ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities. They are generally smaller and lighter than fixed GPS units, and can be carried easily in a backpack or pocket.

Here are just some of the situations in which a portable GPS can be useful:

• Hiking: portable GPS units are often used for hiking, as they can track location and direction, which can be useful to avoid getting lost in the wild. They can also display information on the weather and important landmarks such as the location of mushrooms, for example.
• Cycling: portable GPS units can be useful for cycling, tracking your position and distance travelled. They can also be used to follow a predefined route, or to share your route with other users.
• Navigation: portable GPS units can be used for navigation at sea or in rivers, although they are generally smaller and less robust than fixed GPS units. They can be useful for tracking location and direction.

Unlike fixed GPS units, portable GPS units have the advantage of being easier to carry and use, but are generally less accurate and less robust. Fixed GPS units, on the other hand, are heavier and take up more space, but are more accurate and durable. The choice between a portable and a fixed GPS depends on your needs and usage.
