There is a wide array of GPS Monitor in the market nowadays. Because of stiff competition, the features of GPS monitors have now been enhanced. The latest wearable GPS comes with wifi and 3G support linking to the holder's twitter account. It tells your twitter followers how fast you are going and how many miles you have run. Wearing a GPS is now made very convenient.

Most of them can now be strapped on like a watch. There is a GPS designed for runners, golfers, and marine GPS for scuba divers and swimmers. There are also GPS monitors especially designed for sports enthusiasts like cyclers and runners. So, it is a must that before anyone buys one, he should first determine the purpose for which it is to be used.

A GPS monitor for a vehicle may work for a runner, but the result may not be what you expect. A GPS designed for a specific purpose should not be used for another purpose aside from which it was designed for, lest you want to be disappointed.

If you are a sports enthusiast such as a runner or cycler, getting a GPS which can monitor your heart rate, the distance you have traveled is best. Other GPS watches also include a map so the user will not stray away from his trail. It can also point you to the nearest restaurant or motel where you can eat or freshen up. The best thing about built-in maps is that you will never get lost as long as you have it.

The forerunner in the GPS technology is Garmin. Going online and checking out the Garmin 910XT reviews and Garmin 110 reviews will enable you to further know the capabilities of their technology. It is really a must to do a lot of research before buying a GPS watch because they often cost a lot of money.

A Garmin Forerunner 110 gives you a heart rate data, calories burnt and maps. A Garmin Forerunner 910XT, on the other hand is packed with features that even a swimmer can use. So aside from all the health data-gathering features, it is also waterproof. This makes it a next generation triathlon or multi-sport GPS sports watch.
