Garmin’s $449.99 eTrex Touch is a rugged GPS navigator with preloaded maps for outdoor adventures. It features a 3-inch touchscreen for swiping and zooming in on roads and trails, and comes preloaded with TopoActive maps and the option to add an Outdoor Maps Plus plan ($4.99/month) for premium content like highly detailed elevation contours and satellite imagery, land boundaries, and wildlife areas.

Its beefy girth betrays a 130-hour battery within, that can extend to about 650 hours in expedition mode for almost a full month of use before needing a charge.
