For my use, I wasn’t looking for special. I just wanted GPS…and my existing Bike GPS Receiver are all “finicky” for lack of a better term. If the place is remote, it will stop displaying.
This is the most inexpensive GPS receiver I’ve ever purchased.
It’s also the best. This thing do a good job as a finder.
It’s advertised as being able to be 3D Compass, which I’ve not tried.
I’ll be buying more.
