Hiking meters — altimeters, barometers, compasses and GPS devices.
Hiking meters help hikers navigate, track altitude and predict weather changes in the mountains. Altimeters show the current altitude, which helps you track progress on climbs and find your position on a map. Barometers measure air pressure, and a sudden drop can warn of an approaching storm. Compasses help with navigation when there is no phone signal, and GPS devices show your exact position and route. Many watches combine these functions. Check the features, accuracy, battery life and waterproof rating before ordering. Learn to use a compass and map before relying on them in the wilderness. Electronic devices should always be backed up with a paper map.
