There are new trends emerging in the world of technology. While GPS was once a massively popular fad for cars it has now expanded its reach to the outdoors. Now there are GPS functions and apps that are suited directly for the outdoors. They are designed not for use in a car but for use by hikers and runners as well as mountaineers and cyclists around the world. Anyone with an enthusiasm for the outdoors can use the simple interface to view a wide range of topographic maps. You can look for maps that include open terrain or ordinance surveys. After you find the map you want you simply download it for the area of your choice and it will work no matter if you have a cell signal. You just look for the stored map the same as you would a file on your desktop when you don't have internet connection.New GPS for outdoors is perfect for any mountain bikers or trekkers who like to venture across the country. It is perfect with walkers too as it offers maps with plan routes to a selected region or ordnance survey maps. The level of detail is the same as OS maps and can be scaled down to your needs. The maps will store themselves on your device so that you never have to worry about losing signal. You can plan your own route or import a route from another device and then save them to the same device. You can select whether you would like to walk or cycle with each map too. You can see your current position on the maps and scroll in to any point. You can follow over one hundred thousand routes and edit them as you go along. You can also utilize the same GPS functions that you might use in your car.
