![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My “go-to” GPS device is a Garmin e-Trex Venture HC. Your hiking environment may be totally different, but this is my frame of reference for my experience. For the record, where I normally hike is a National Forest with absolutely no/very little cell coverage, heavy canopy especially during the spring/summer, and is riddled with deep canyons which makes Cellular coverage extremely difficult but GPS signal possible. I try my best to navigate by map and compass and just use the GPS for data collection which I’ll explain later.Īn often asked question is which GPS or GPS Application I use on my smartphone or which do I recommend. With that being said, I do carry a map, compass, AND a GPS. The advantage of a map and compass is that it never needs batteries, works anywhere, and is simple to use after you learn some basics. I’ll start with a disclaimer: I believe you should first have and know how to use a map and compass when backcountry hiking. ![]()
