Last month, Consumer Search included Garmin products among their top choices for Handheld GPs units. Among those chosen were the Garmin GPSMap 60Csx and the Garmin Forerunner 305.

Evaluating handheld GPS units is not the same as looking at GPS units for use in cars.
The Consumer Search report reviewed handheld GPS units that were manufactured to be used mainly out of doors. These units have smaller screens and are generally lighter than GPS navigation units made for use while driving. They also tend to have longer battery life than automotive GPS units and are made to withstand outdoor elements like wind and rain.
The Garmin GPSMap 60Csx was named “Best-value handheld GPS” for its continuity in performance. More of their reviewers picked it than any other handheld GPS. This unit is an upgrade on the previous models in the series and it gets satellite information faster. You can use it to get location information in hard-to-reach locations like dense foliage or canyons.

The Garmin Forerunner 305 was honored as the best fitness watch with GPS. This fitness GPS can be a great asset for your exercise regimen since it let you compete against previous workouts by comparing your pace and hear rate. Even if you don’t want to compete against yourself, you can still track your performance over time to see how you have improved. Data from each workout is stored in the Forerunner 305’s memory.

These and other top-rated Garmin products are available through the Action GPS website. Stop by today and take a look at your next handheld GPS unit.
