Description

In this month’s GPS Training Podcast, Jon and Andy are back together — and there’s plenty to talk about!


What’s inside this episode:




  • First thoughts on the Garmin GPSMAP H1 / H1i Plus


    We take Garmin’s brand-new handheld out into the field and share our first impressions: the rugged build, touchscreen performance, new features like the flashlight and siren, and whether it’s worth upgrading if you already own a GPSMAP 67i.




  • Andy’s Windermere Lap adventure


    Andy laced up for a full circuit of England’s largest lake. We cover the distance, terrain, highlights, and the gear he used along the way — plus tips if you’re tempted to take on the challenge yourself.




  • New launch: Suunto Vertical 2


    Released yesterday, the Vertical 2 brings a stunning AMOLED screen, offline mapping, colour elevation plots, and OS grid references right on your wrist. Andy’s been testing it — hear his verdict on usability, battery life, and whether it’s worth the upgrade.




  • New launch: Garmin eTrex Touch


    Another fresh release, this update to the eTrex series brings a modern touchscreen interface, improved satellite accuracy, geocaching features, and easier GPX sharing. We explain where it sits in Garmin’s lineup and who it’s best suited for.




  • Andy’s Top Tips




    • How to lock buttons on your Suunto Race or Vertical so you don’t stop recording by mistake.




    • Managing voice alerts and Bluetooth audio on the new Garmin GPSMAP H1.
