HANDHELD GPS

Navigate with confidence using Snow+Rock’s range of handheld GPS units, designed to make hiking, cycling, and running safer, smarter, and stress-free. Leave your phone in your pocket and trust the pinpoint accuracy of these devices. Even a minor error can make the difference between a great day outdoors and a frustrating experience.

With detailed route planning, offline functionality, and efficient battery use, handheld GPS units give you consistent performance without draining your phone. Many models also allow you to pre-load routes, ensuring navigation stays accurate even when there’s no signal.

The built-in software lets you export and analyse routes, so you can revisit the day after, share favourite spots, or refine your training. Whether it’s a hidden viewpoint, untouched powder, or a trail section you’d like to improve, your journey is always recorded.

Handpicked from trusted brands like Garmin, these devices are built to perform when you need them most.

Handheld GPS devices offer precise navigation and location tracking even in remote areas where smartphones may lose signal. They are rugged, water-resistant, and designed for challenging environments, providing reliable mapping, waypoint marking, and route planning for hiking, climbing, or backcountry adventures. 

While smartphones offer convenient navigation apps, their accuracy and battery life can suffer in areas with poor signal. Handheld GPS units are purpose-built for outdoor navigation, featuring high-precision receivers, longer battery life, and robust construction, making them more reliable in dense forests, mountainous terrain, or off-grid locations. 

Key features include multi-GNSS support (access to GPS, GLONASS, Galileo), long battery life, water resistance (IPX7 rating), preloaded topographic maps, and sensors like a barometric altimeter and compass. Some models offer touchscreen displays, satellite messaging, and SOS functionality for added safety in remote areas. 

Battery life varies by model and usage, ranging from about 18 hours on high-end touchscreen units to over 180 hours on models like the Garmin GPSMAP 67i in standard mode. Some devices offer expedition modes for even longer life, and many run on replaceable AA batteries for added convenience in the field.
