We live in an era where anyone with a smartphone can download an app on the fly to suit their needs or specific situation. But what happens when you’re out of cell range?

For those who live out in the woods, or who like to get lost out there, a gadget like the Garmin Foretrex 801 (Ksh 35,950.00) is a dedicated and reliable wearable navigation device. Keeping you connected through satellites, there’s nothing that’s going to interfere with this compact wrist unit getting you from one place to the next — except for the battery dying. And that shouldn’t happen often with the Foretrex. At a minimum, this device can make two AAA batteries last for 100 hours. At a maximum, it can make them last over 1,000.
