You love biking, you love the excitement of going off road, facing the mountains, the arena, the wind, indeed a breathtaking experience, but one of the key elements for your biking trips is, without a doubt, the GPS device that will help you stay on course and reach your destination on the desired time.Obviously the first one must be the navigational feature, this means, maps, route tracking and all the necessary features to know where you are, how fast your moving and so on (this is achieved not just by the satellites pin pointing your location but also by the networking services provided by the GPS maker), this is, like we mentioned before the key feature you need.
Also the device must have a design that fits your bike well without being bulky and without adding unnecessary weight. You might think, “Why worry about the weight of such small device?” well, the fact of the matter is, the more you go on, the more energy you’ll need and any element that adds weight to the bike, will, in turn, represent energy loss for you.
Features like climbing and descent data are also desirable as they will, at each time, let you know how high you are, thus making you able to make a decision on the fly on what course to take. Also the descent data will help you know how fast you’re going down.
One of the most important and key features to look for in a GPS device is the ease of use, remember that you’ll be using the device while on the bike and while moving on hard terrains, so, the easier it is to manipulate, the better and more helpful it’ll be for you.
You can also look for a GPS that can keep your health information on display like hear rate, calories burned, energy levels, and also importantly, your water level, not just for your safety, but also so you can monitor your fitness goals.
Also remember to check for voice and data services that might available for you at the area that you choose to practice biking, this is critical in case you need assistance, remember, biking is fun but in this case it also has its risks.
With the GPS you can easily tell emergency services about your location (coordinates) so they can find you more quickly and provide assistance.
