With an extremely high-sensitivity GPS receiver, the Garmin GPSMAP 64st can be used anywhere in the world. It’s available in a variety of styles too (not that good looks matter much when you are out on a hunt). This model’s flexibility does, however, extend beyond aesthetics and one of its most impressive features is that it can connect to Smartphones and other Garmin devices, including heart rate monitors and foot pods.

The only thing it doesn’t have going for itself, however, is its bulky weight – which makes it a bit awkward to carry when you are trying to creep up with your target. All-in-all, the 680t is a powerful unit that has flawless reception. You may also be interested in some of the best golf GPS watches from our list, so check them out.
