We use Garmin's. They are hand held devices. With the right map chip in them you will always be able to know where you are in relation to the land around you. The guidance given so you can "track back" to you car or camp is invaluable for safety. They need 2 AA batteries for nearly 24 hours of continuous run time. The passenger in the car can use them to navigate roads. They have a "find" tool that can lead you to many things like a hospital. Hand held Garmin's are not typically used for driving but it is a nice back up.
We have 2 Garmin Astro's. They have been developed for gun dogs. The GPS tracker device is most often put on an animals collar like a packgoat or a dog. My husband and I put the trackers in our back packs while elk hunting so we always know where each other are located. The GPS tracker is visible on the map on our hand held Garmin device.
The trip computer will evaluate the distance traveled, the elevation gained, how much time you were actually moving, and the speed you moved at.
