Whether in the tropical rain forest or exploring the Arctic, the Multi Navigator was intended to withstand the most extreme weather conditions. The Multi Navigator is intended so the fitted True Magnetic™, Compass can work independently of the GPS receiver function, allowing you to navigate without the help of satellites still update your position when needed. This distinctive feature lets for amazing battery conservation, giving you weeks worth of battery power rather than hours worth.

Review:
You can find less costly GPS units than Brunton's Multi Navigation System GPS, but you will not find another that offers as many functions. also to its world Positioning System GPS, the unit features a barometer, an altimeter, and a compass. it is also a rugged, expedition quality device that is waterproof and will function precisely in temperatures ranging from minus 13 degrees to 158 degrees.

Finding your latitude and longitude is only one way to use the Multi Navigator. it is easy to set waypoints simply save and label places with names like "car" and "cabin." you may be able to then use the Multi Navigator to lead you to that waypoint by pointing in the direction of the place with its interior compass and showing the distance in miles.

To test it, we wandered out into the fog enshrouded trails of a close state park till we were completely turned around. We were then able to use the Multi Navigator to easily find our way back. Its distance and direction are as the crow flies, so there were some turns and twists, but it kept us pointed in the right direction.

The Multi Navigator's barometer can supply a rough forecast for the forthcoming twelve hours, offering predictions like Sunny, Partly Cloudy, and Storm Warning. though not as exact as our local meteorologist, the Navigator did precisely predict clouds moving into our area. Brunton recommends staying in the same place for at least six hours for the most correct weather report.

The Multi Navigator includes an altimeter, correct to inside three feet, which aids in the waypoint settings the Navigator included the distance we'd have to travel up or down to reach our wanted waypoint.

many other features such as time, date, temperature, and dawn and sunset times for location round out the Navigator's complete set of navigation features. If you need a rugged, high quality aid for your world expedition, or if you just often get lost in the woods, the Multi Navigator is worth consideration. J. Curtis
