If you like going into the backcountry, do yourself a favor and pony up for the Garmin Fenix 5X. It comes with preloaded, detailed, topographic maps that are easy to read on the 5X’s large, colorful screen, and trackback features to find your way home if/when you get lost. It’s waterproof and one battery charge lasts forever. It can track any sport you can think of, from snowboarding to golf to indoor track running, on Garmin’s comprehensive Connect app. It may be expensive, but it does cost less than a week of paying Search and Rescue.
