Some GPS units are aimed at runners and cyclists. these give geographic positions but are more concerned with recording distances travelled, speeds, interval times etc. They strap to wrists or handlebars and are integrated like wrist watches. They dont provide sophisticated mapping facilities GPS for walkers and climbers are hand held and allow for routes and digital mapping to be uploaded from computers and records of walks and climbs to be downloaded.
