Do GPS watches work in the woods?
Yes. GPS watches function well in remote areas such as the wilderness and similar locales, as they can accurately pinpoint your location by continuously sending and receiving signals from orbiting satellites. Keep in mind that terrain with abundant tree cover may make your GPS data somewhat less accurate.
What features should I look for in a GPS watch?
Similar to handheld GPS’, every GPS watch is different. While standard features will vary, here are some top features to keep in mind when choosing your GPS watch:
· A clear and easily readable display
· Built-in GPS (with compass and accelerometer)
· Thermal, shock, and water resistance
· Phone pairing capabilities
· Long-lasting battery life
