    Review
    When the U.S. government launched the first GPS satellite in the late 1970s, they probably didn't know that they were laying the foundation for a revolution, two decades later, in how outdoor enthusiasts would keep track of their position. Thanks to a network of 24 GPS satellites orbiting at 11,000 miles in space, it's possible to know where you are here on earth to within a few meters. And with the Garmin GPS II Plus, you can connect with up to 12 of those satellites to determine your position, altitude, bearing, and even how fast you're going.

    GPS II Plus is a lightweight, handheld unit that's extremely simple to set up. All you really need is a clear view of the sky--the graphical display shows the available satellites and the signal strengths of each. With the rocker pad and function keys, you can scroll through a variety of menus to store up to 500 way-points, display a real-time map of your movements, and even calculate the sunrise and sunset times for your present position or any stored waypoint. The GPS II Plus reports positions in latitude and longitude or the Universal Mercator grid system. Requires four AA batteries for operation. The unit is perfect for mountain bikers, fishers, hunters, backpackers, and boaters.
