Boasting up to 100 hours of battery life in navigation mode and an impressive 1000 hours in expedition mode, this GPS device is reliable for larger-scale adventures. Built to military standards, its rugged design withstands sand, dust, shock, and extreme temperatures, with an IPX7 water-resistant rating that proves its usefulness when rain starts to fall. The Foretrex 801 GPS also hosts a range of tactical features, including a stealth mode to disable GPS and wireless connectivity, as well as a kill switch to immediately erase the device memory for peace of mind.
