Garmin Foretrex® 801 GPS

Boasting up to 100 hours of battery life in navigation mode and an impressive 1000 hours in expedition mode, this GPS device is reliable for larger-scale adventures. Built to military standards, its rugged design withstands sand, dust, shock, and extreme temperatures, with an IPX7 water-resistant rating that proves its usefulness when rain starts to fall. The Foretrex 801 GPS also hosts a range of tactical features, including a stealth mode to disable GPS and wireless connectivity, as well as a kill switch to immediately erase the device memory for peace of mind. 

Even as you ascend to new heights, the built-in jumpmaster mode allows for high-altitude calculations, paired with a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis compass, and barometric altimeter to offer a full navigational arsenal.
