The best GPS could be the one you already own…
Chances are, you don’t need to buy a GPS. You already have one. Assisted GPS – is a faster and a more accurate way of figuring out exactly where you are, the smart phone’s GPS works perfectly well. When your adventures take you into the beautiful world that lies beyond the range of cell towers, this means that as long as you’ve pre-downloaded base maps via wifi at home – you’ll still be able to locate yourself and navigate.
Doesn’t your navigation device require a lot of battery power?
Of course, there is always the fact that phone is notorious for using a lot of battery power. The simplest and most cost-friendly solution I found that works perfectly for me:
Using my Xiaomi Mi4 Note cell phone that was built to meet ever-increasing needs for power. Not only is it one of the best selling phones, but it’s also very affordable, so you don’t have to stress about your expensive smartphone getting damaged on your adventure ride. A huge advantage is the fact that it has a 4 Amp battery which means I just need to charge my phone after two days again without having to use any cables while riding.
