Why this beats your phone
No messages arriving mid turn, no map app competing with six other icons for your attention at a red light or a trail junction.
The full picture
A rugged handheld GPS with a 2.2 inch sunlight readable screen, up to 168 hours of battery life on 2 AA batteries, and support for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and other satellite systems for reliable positioning even under tree cover. It pairs with the Garmin Explore app for trip planning but does not need a phone connection to navigate once loaded.
