eXplorist GC

The eXplorist GC navigation device provides unmatched assistance with navigation, such as the combination of the world's two most useful navigational tools - a compass and a map! Overlay a series of different transparent compass styles on top of a pre-loaded worldwide map that shows roads, water features, parks and city centres.

Access the dashboard screen that shows a mini-compass for quick reference and customisable navigation data fields, such as latitude, longitude, heading, bearing, distance to end, trip odometer, and many more. Go back to the map screen and view your active track, which is a series of digital breadcrumbs to record all your movements. Mark your starting point (car, trailhead, parking lot...) with a waypoint and easily navigate back to that location once you've finished your hike, walk or unearthed your fill of caches.

To support all of your outdoor adventures, including geocaching, the eXplorist GC also comes with tons of helpful features. A vibrant colour transflective screen, which allows for the best readability in direct sunlight.
